For the filling
- 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 3 medium apples) Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, a mix work well
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the topping
- 1 cup rolled oats Swap for quick oats in a pinch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Use 1:1 gluten-free flour for gluten-free
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted For a flakier topping, use cold butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish (about 8×8 inches or similar).
- In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Scatter the oat-flour topping evenly over the apples, covering as much surface as possible.
Baking
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling up around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
