There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This crumble is my go to dessert when I want something comforting that comes together with very little fuss.

The secret is using a mix of tart and sweet apples so the filling has plenty of flavor. Make sure to cut the butter into the flour and oats until it looks like coarse crumbs for the best texture on top.

Ingredients

  • 6 large apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Toss the sliced apples with the white sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar together.

  4. 4

    Add the softened butter to the oat mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it until the mixture is crumbly.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.

  6. 6

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the top is golden brown.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a splash of cold heavy cream. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge and warm them up in the microwave the next day.
