Ingredients

  • 6 large apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples and toss to coat.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cold butter cubes, brown sugar, oats, and salt. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples in the baking dish, covering them completely.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  10. Enjoy!
