Bring on fall/autumn and apple season!! Faced with a sea of apple recipes, this recipe for Apple Crumble is by far the best and easiest. My mom makes the recipe with rhubarb, but apples are a show-stopping alternative for fall.
Apple Crumble
Ingredients:
Crumble:
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
Filling:
- 5-6 cups sliced apples (use a mixture—Granny Smith, Gala, McIntosh, etc.)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 375 deg F. Coat a 9×9” baking pan with cooking spray.
- Mix all dry ingredients for the crumble in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until crumbly (coarse crumbs—it’s OK if some larger pieces of butter remain).
- Press half of this mixture in prepared pan.
- Mix apple slices, sugar, cinnamon and salt in another large bowl. Pour mixture over bottom crust (it will look FULL but the apples will shrink during baking).
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over apples. Press down lightly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until apples are bubbly.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. YUM!
Note: if you use rhubarb, please use 1-1/2 cups of sugar in the filling… or prepare to pucker up!
