👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
-
2
Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or your chosen nutmeg substitute), and mace (if using). Toss gently to coat the apples evenly. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
-
3
Make the crumble topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
-
4
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Don't overmix; a little texture is good!
-
5
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
-
6
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender when pierced with a fork. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
-
7
Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
💡 Notes
For the nutmeg substitute in the apple filling, you can use 1 tsp allspice, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, or 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Adjust to your taste. This crumble is best served warm on the day it's made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
