THE BEST APPLE CRUMBLE
Sweet, fruity with a hint of lemony tang and perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg this delicious Apple Crumble is simply THE BEST!
Ingredients
- 8 apples (honeycrisp or a combo of honeycrisp and Granny Smith), peeled, cored and cubed
- 1 lemon, zested
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (use the same lemon that you grate the zest from)
- 6 tbsp brown sugar, divided
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp flour (use grounded oatmeal if you want a completely gluten-free crumble)
- ½ cup (8 tablespoons) butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a 9x13-inch glass baking pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, place the apples with lemon zest, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons sugar, half of the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and salt. Toss well. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- In a food processor, place the oats, pecans or walnuts, flour, remaining sugar and ground cinnamon plus the chilled sliced butter. Pulse 5-7 times or just until mixed and the butter pieces are roughly the size of peas.
- Place the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish. Distribute the oatmeal mixture evenly on top of the apples. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
If you want to make this completely gluten-free, simply omit the flour or replace with extra ground oatmeal.
I love combining both sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor profile. I highly recommend this.
You can make this in a 9x9 square pan too - just adjust the timing and add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time.
