Description
Indulge in a timeless American dessert that perfectly balances tender, spiced orchard apples with a golden, buttery oat crumble. This recipe utilizes a blend of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples to achieve a delightful sweet-tart profile that never turns soggy. It is the ultimate comfort food for any family gathering, best served warm with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch thick wedges.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar and half of the cinnamon until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and the remaining cinnamon.
Cut the chilled butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple base.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter is very cold before incorporating it into the dry ingredients to achieve the best crunch. You can substitute the flour with a gluten-free measure-for-measure blend if needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
