Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your apple dessert bakes evenly and reaches the perfect texture.
- Prepare the apples by peeling and slicing them into thin wedges. You can use a variety of apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for a mix of tartness and sweetness.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the apples gently until they are evenly coated with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles a crumbly topping.
- Evenly sprinkle the oat and flour mixture over the apples in the baking dish, covering them completely. This will create a delicious topping that adds texture to the dessert.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This will help the dessert set slightly and make it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips
- Apple Selection Matters: Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith for a more complex flavor profile.
- Ensure Even Cutting: Slice apples to similar thickness for uniform cooking and texture.
- Don't Skimp on Spices: Fresh ground cinnamon can elevate the entire dessert's flavor.
- Butter Temperature: Use melted butter at room temperature for the perfect crumble consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream can take this dessert from great to absolutely amazing!
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared in advance and reheated, making it perfect for busy fall entertaining.
