Crisp, buttery oats on top of warm, tender apples in a gooey brown sugar and cinnamon sauce make this the perfect apple crumble recipe.

Ingredients
 

Apple Crumble Filling

  • 10 medium size apples*, sliced and cut into chunks (Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp are great choices)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cups brown sugar (measured packed)
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon water**
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter (cut into 1/4" pieces)

Apple Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup oats (old fashioned oats preferred )
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (salted or unsalted)

Instructions
 

Filling

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch dish (or equivalent size) by greasing or spraying with non stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon and water. Mix well until apples are completely coated and ingredients turn into a syrup like consistency.
  • Pour mixture into prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the two tablespoons of cold butter evenly around the top.

Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine oats, 1 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar and melted butter to create the topping. Mix well then sprinkle over the apple mixture.
  • Bake for approximately 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly prior to serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Store tightly covered.

Notes

*Apples - I prefer to peel my apples prior to slicing but if desired you can leave the peels on.
**Water - If your apple mixture seems dry, even after mixing well, you can add an additional tablespoon of water.
Storage: Store your leftover apple crumble in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheating: You can reheat just a serving in the microwave or bake it again at 350°F until it's warmed through evenly. Baking it will help maintain the texture of the topping better than the microwave will. This can also be served cold!
