Ingredients: Gather 6-8 medium-sized apples, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 cup of cold butter (cut into cubes), and a pinch of salt.
Preparation of Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a mixing bowl and toss with a tablespoon of flour, ensuring they're evenly coated. This helps to thicken the juices while baking.
Crumble Mixture: In another bowl, combine the remaining flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assembly: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the prepared apples evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top, covering the apples completely.
Baking: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Serving Suggestions: Serve the apple crumble warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Enjoy: Once cooled slightly, dig in and enjoy the comforting flavors and textures of this homemade apple crumble. It's perfect for any occasion, whether it's a cozy family dinner or a special gathering with friends.
