Description

A comforting Apple Cinnamon Crumble featuring warm, cinnamon-spiced baked apples topped with a buttery, golden oat crumble. This delightful dessert combines tender fruit with a crisp, sweet topping perfect for chilly evenings or anytime you crave a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (optional for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice 5 medium apples into evenly sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon until they are well coated. This mixture will create the sweet, spiced base for the crumble.
  2. Arrange the Filling: Transfer the coated apples into a greased baking dish, spreading them out evenly for uniform cooking.
  3. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup rolled oats, and 1/3 cup brown sugar if using. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Top the Apples: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple layer, covering all the fruit to ensure a crispy, golden crust.
  5. Bake the Crumble: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the crumble to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
  • For a nuttier topping, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble mixture.
  • Brown sugar in the topping adds extra moisture and depth of flavor but can be omitted for less sweetness.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or custard for a classic dessert experience.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
