Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 5 medium apples Granny Smith or Fuji, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • In a mixing bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Transfer to a greased 8-inch baking dish.
  • In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the apples are bubbly.
  • Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor.
  • You can swap butter with plant-based margarine for a vegan version.
  • Add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the topping for extra crunch.
  • Perfect make-ahead dessert.
