This classic dessert is made with fresh apples, a sweet crumbly topping, and a hint of warming spices, all baked to perfection. Plus, it’s budget-friendly, making it a perfect treat for any time of the year. So, let’s dig into this delicious apple crumble recipe that’s sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests without breaking the bank

Tips:

  • You can adjust the amount of sugar and spices to your taste preference. If you like it sweeter, you can add more sugar. If you prefer more warmth from the spices, you can increase the amount of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • You can use a mix of different apple varieties for a more complex flavor profile. Tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well in apple crumble, but you can also use sweeter apples like Golden Delicious or Gala for a milder taste.
  • If you want to save time, you can prepare the crumble topping in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake the apple crumble.
  • Apple crumble is best served warm, but you can also enjoy it chilled as leftovers. Simply reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

  3. Add in the cubed cold butter to the dry mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In the prepared baking dish, spread out the peeled and sliced apples evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbly mixture on top of the apples, covering them completely.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the apples are tender and bubbling.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy the deliciousness of homemade apple crumble!
