Ingredients

  • For the filling:
  • 8 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • For the crumble topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and flour until evenly coated.
  3. Spread apple mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add cold butter and cut in with fingers or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts to the topping for extra crunch.
  • Combine with pears or cranberries for a fruit variation.
  • Use gluten-free flour and oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Drizzle with caramel sauce before baking for a decadent twist.
  • Reduce sugar by half for a less sweet version.
