Nani's Classic Warm Apple Crumble
This cozy apple crumble features soft cinnamon spiced apples tucked under a perfectly crunchy brown sugar topping.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This dessert is one of my favorites because it is simple to put together and always makes the kitchen feel so inviting.
My best tip is to use a mix of apples like Granny Smith for tartness and Honeycrisp for sweetness. This gives the filling the best texture and flavor balance.
🧺 Ingredients
- 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish.
- 2
Toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into your baking dish.
- 3
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and oats together.
- 4
Cut the butter into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
- 5
Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the apples.
- 6
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
💡 Tips
Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a splash of heavy cream. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to get the topping crispy again.
