Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 319kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds apples peeled, cored, and sliced ⅜ - ½ inch thick
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted + more butter for greasing the pan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and butter an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon juice and pinch of salt together until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared dish.
- Combine the oats, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Using a fork, stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the dry mixture is evenly coated and the mixture begins to clump together.
- Squeeze small handfuls of the crumble mixture together to form clumps, then scatter them evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling (a paring knife inserted into the cooked apples should easily slide in and out).
- Serve warm with vanilla sauce, ice cream, whipped cream or a splash of heavy cream.
Notes
To store and reheat: Store leftover apple crumble covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the crumble in a 350°F oven until heated through.
Note: if the topping is getting too dark before the apples are tender, tent the baking dish with aluminum foil to protect the crumble topping for the remainder of the baking time.
