Description
A dependable and delicious apple crumble featuring a mix of tart and sweet apples, topped with a crunchy oat and butter crumble.
Ingredients
Scale
- 900 g (about 6 medium) firm tart apples (e.g., 450 g Granny Smith + 450 g Fuji)
- 50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 100 g (1/2 cup, packed) brown sugar
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
- 16 g (2 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1 tsp (2 g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) ground nutmeg
- 115 g (8 tbsp + 3 tbsp) cold unsalted butter
- 150 g (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 100 g (1 cup) old-fashioned rolled oats
- Pinch of fine sea salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 50 g (1/3 cup) chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Peel, core, and slice apples into 1 cm (1/4–1/2 inch) thick slices. Toss with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated apples to a square (23 x 23 cm) or round (9-inch) baking dish and spread into an even layer. Press lightly to release some juices.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Stir in chopped walnuts if using.
- Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apples. Bake for 40–45 minutes, rotating the dish once to ensure even browning.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Avoid soggy topping by ensuring proper baking time. Feel free to add spices or nuts based on personal preference.
