Apple Crumble is a 9×13 pan dessert full of sweetened apples and a thick crumble layer with brown sugar and oatmeal. Serve it with some ice cream and you will be in heaven. I promise you’ll believe it’s the perfect crumble recipe.
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
