Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Apple Selection: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith for the best flavor.
- Extra Crunch: Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping for extra texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the crumble topping in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to use.
