Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
- 3 medium apples, thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon flour (to thicken)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- For the crust, pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until crumbly. Add cold water slowly until dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Toss sliced apples with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.
- Cool slightly and serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Chilling the crust before baking helps it retain its shape.
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a more complex flavor.
- You can prepare the crumble topping in advance and refrigerate.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla sauce as an alternative to ice cream.
