Ingredients
– 5-6 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Pinch of salt
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Pie dish or baking dish (9×13 inches)
– Cutting board and knife
– Pastry cutter or fork (for the crumble topping)
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, I start peeling and slicing the apples. I love using a mix of Granny Smith for their tartness and Honeycrisp for their sweet crunch. After slicing, I toss the apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, then spread them evenly into the baking dish. The smell at this stage is simply heavenly, and I can already picture how delicious this will be! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
