Equipment
Method
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces, then place them in a mixing bowl.
- Toss the apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until evenly coated. This helps prevent browning and infuses flavor.
- Transfer the seasoned apples into a buttered baking dish, spreading them in an even layer.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix briefly to distribute evenly.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spoon the crumbly topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, covering the surface completely.
- Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 40 minutes, until bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. The crumble will be warm, with tender apples underneath a crisp topping.
