1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07
1 tablespoon lemon juice
08
For the Crumble Topping:
09
1 cup all-purpose flour
10
3/4 cup brown sugar
11
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
12
1/2 cup rolled oats
13
1/4 teaspoon salt
14
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
15
Optional Toppings:
16
Vanilla ice cream
17
Whipped cream
18
Caramel sauce
19
Chopped nuts

Instructions

01
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02
Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place in a large mixing bowl.
03
Season the apple filling: Sprinkle sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice over the apples. Toss gently to coat evenly, ensuring all apple slices are well-seasoned.
04
Make the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add cold butter cubes.
05
Create the crumble: Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Mix in the rolled oats.
06
Assemble the crumble: Spread the seasoned apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping uniformly over the apples, covering completely.
07
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
08
Cool and serve: Let the crumble rest for 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
09
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
