Treat yourself to the timeless apple crumble – packed with tender, spiced apples, and topped with a buttery, golden crumble.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups (600g) peeled and sliced apples
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

For the crumble topping:

  • 1 cup (100g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish.

3. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

6. Allow the apple crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
