There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This crumble is a favorite in our house because it is simple to put together and tastes just like home. It is the perfect cozy dessert for a chilly evening.

My best tip is to use a mix of apple varieties to get a great texture. Granny Smith apples offer a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the brown sugar topping perfectly.

Ingredients

  • 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and 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 your baking dish.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture looks like coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.

  5. 5

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

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and warm them up in the microwave before eating.
