Ingredients

• 6 large Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 120 ml Maple syrup
• 15 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Rolled oats
• 75 g Brown sugar
• 100 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 500 ml Vanilla bean ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the apple slices with lemon juice, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and 60 ml of the maple syrup. Mix well to coat evenly.

Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 60 ml of maple syrup over the crumble topping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 10

Remove the croustade from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
