Ingredients
Scale
- 6–7 medium apples (Granny Smith or any variety)
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly butter a 22 cm (9-inch) square baking dish.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Or leave some skins on—up to you! Toss apples in a bowl with lemon juice and a spoonful of the brown sugar.
- In another bowl, mix the oats, 2/3 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter. Rub it all together with your fingers until crumbly. Add nuts if using.
- Scatter the apples in the baking dish. Top with the crumble mixture, ensuring it’s fairly even.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples bubble at the edges.
- Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
