Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
- 2 pounds 4–5 assorted baking apples (I used 3 Granny Smith and 2 Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced thin
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
For the Crisp Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup oats quick-cooking or rolled
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 8–9 inch square or round baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. Sprinkle over the flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon, and toss again to coat. Place the apples loosely into the prepared baking dish.
- Stir together the water and vanilla, then pour over the apples. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top.
Make the crumble topping
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers to rub it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble and bake
- Scatter the crumble topping evenly over the apples. Bake on the middle rack for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling underneath.
Serve
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Tip: For a nutty twist, mix ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans into the topping before baking.
