A warm, homey apple crumble with a buttery, brown-sugar topping and tart Granny Smith apples, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 lb Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 6–7 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or additional brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 8×8-inch or 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Make the crumble: In another bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in 8 tablespoons melted butter and mix with a fork until coarse clumps form.
  4. Assemble: Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apples, pressing gently so some larger clumps remain.
  5. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and apple juices are bubbling at the edges.
  6. Rest and serve: Allow the crumble to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitutions: Use dark brown sugar for deeper flavor, add rolled oats and nuts for texture. Can be made dairy-free with plant-based butter.
