Ingredients

• 6 medium apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.75 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (light or dark, packed)
• 0.5 cup butter (cold, diced)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges. Place the apple slices into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice over the apples. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the cold, diced butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbs and starts to clump together.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the cinnamon-spiced apples in the baking dish.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
