Ingredients

• 6 medium (peeled, cored, and sliced) Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

Step 3

Transfer the spiced apples to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and salt.

Step 5

Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring that the buttery crumble mixture is evenly moistened.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the spiced apples, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Allow the apple crumble to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.

Step 10

Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
