Here’s a delicious recipe for Homemade Apple Crumble—perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 5 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (about 9×9 inches) with butter or cooking spray.
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Make sure the apples are evenly coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 2: Make the Crumble Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the crumble topping or mix in a handful of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts).
- Apple Varieties: Granny Smith apples provide a nice tartness that balances the sweetness, while Honeycrisp apples are naturally sweet and juicy. You can mix both varieties for a balanced flavor.
