Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice apples into half-inch thick pieces.
Toss apples in a large bowl with lemon juice and two tablespoons of sugar.
Transfer apples into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut cold cubed butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apple layer without packing it down.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure you use cold butter to achieve the perfect crumb texture. For a gluten-free variation, you can swap the all-purpose flour for almond flour. Honeycrisp apples can be used if you prefer a sweeter filling.
