The Granny Smith apples provide a nice tart contrast to the sweet crumble. Sugar, well, adds sweetness and helps form the syrupy base. Cinnamon brings a warm depth of flavor that completes the apple crumble. The butter in the topping creates a delightful crunch that compliments the apple filling superbly.

If you’re not a fan of granny smith apples, feel free to use any apple variety you prefer. Sugar substitutes can work too but might alter flavor/taste.

How To Make Apple Crumble

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350��F (175��C). While it heats, peel and core apples, then cut into slices.
2. Place the apple slices in a large bowl, add granulated sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon powder. Mix well and set aside.
3. Now it’s crumble time folks! In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and butter. Squish the mixture with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4. Add rolled oats to the mix. Give it a good stir.
5. Fill your pie dish with the sugared apples. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly on top.
6. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the apples are soft.
7. There she is! Your magnificent apple crumble. Add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Hot diggity, ain’t she a beauty!
