Ingredients
Scale
Fruit:
- 5 cups (1200 ml) fresh apples, sliced
Filling and Topping Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (133 g) packed brown sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (30 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
Spices and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for filling
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (57 g or 1/2 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice the apples and combine them with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the sweet mixture.
- Transfer the seasoned apple slices into the prepared baking dish, arranging them in an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, create the crumble topping by mixing flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Drizzle melted butter over the dry ingredients and gently stir until the mixture develops a coarse, crumbly texture.
- Evenly distribute the crumble topping across the apple layer, covering the fruit completely.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, watching for golden-brown topping and tender, soft apples.
- If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning while allowing the apples to continue cooking.
Notes
- Choose crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best balance of sweetness and texture in this classic dessert.
- Slice apples uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent softness throughout the dish.
- Customize the topping by adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
- Make this dessert gluten-free by substituting regular flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend in the crumble topping.
