Ingredients: 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced; ½ cup granulated sugar; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling); ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg; ¼ teaspoon ground cloves; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; Pinch of salt (for filling); 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats; ¾ cup all-purpose flour (for topping); ½ cup packed light brown sugar; ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping); ¼ teaspoon ground allspice; Pinch of salt (for topping); ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and pour into the baking dish.
2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together oats, ¾ cup flour, brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, allspice, and a pinch of salt. Add cold butter. Use fingertips or a pastry blender to cut butter into dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
3
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple mixture. Place dish on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender.
4
Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

💡 Notes

For a tarter crumble, reduce sugar in the filling by 2 tablespoons. If you don't have allspice for the topping, use an additional ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and a tiny pinch of cloves. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
