Description
A balanced apple crumble with tart and sweet apples, complemented by a buttery, crunchy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp or Braeburn apples
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 75 g (1/3 cup) brown sugar
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
- 2 tsp (4 g) ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 20 g (2 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) salt
- 200 g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 100 g (1 cup) rolled oats
- 170 g (12 tbsp) cold unsalted butter
- Optional: 50 g (1/2 cup) chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Peel, core, and slice the apples into 8 mm (1/3-inch) slices. Toss with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in nuts if using.
- Transfer the apple mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Scatter the crumble topping over the apples.
- Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20 minutes, then reduce to 175°C (350°F) and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes.
- Let the crumble rest for 10–15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
To avoid soggy topping, ensure apples are well-coated in cornstarch and use cold butter.
