APPLE CRUMBLE RECIPE

My husband John is always on the search for the perfect apple crumble.

He orders it at every restaurant and is always disappointed…not enough crumble on top, too dry, apples too mushy…you get the drift.

This version, however, he loved. I have always thought it’s bold to label a dish as “the best” or “perfect” because you set some really high expectations but I have no qualms about calling this the perfect apple dessert.

What I love about crumbles versus pies is that there’s no pie crust involved. I’m terrible at pie crusts.

INGREDIENTS

Apples – you can use any apples like Gala, Fiji, or Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. Granny Smith are a little more tart and complement the sweetness of the crumble.
Old Fashioned Oats – quick oats will work as well but I like the texture of old fashioned.
Brown Sugar
White Sugar
Cinnamon
Flour
Lemon Juice – adds a bright flavor and helps make the sauce for the apples
Butter
Nutmeg
Nuts
Baking Powder/ Baking Soda

Just peel, core, and slice the apples. Not too thick, not too thick. I like to cut them in 1/4 inch slices. Sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar…

Add your crumble layer.

If you aren’t good at pie crusts, try this Apple Crumble for Thanksgiving instead of apple pie. Trust me…you won’t miss your pie a bit.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CRUMBLE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the sliced apples in a 9×13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples.
For the Topping: Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, pecans, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes or until apples are cooked and crumble is golden brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Serve warm with ice cream!
