Light Apple Crumble Recipe
I am convinced that apples do not need extra sugar - they are already so sweet! This crumble is perfect on its own, on top of vanilla bean ice cream, or as the fruit and granola components of a Fruit, Yogurt, and Granola Bowl.
Equipment
- 1 9x13 Baking Dish
Ingredients
Crumble Topping
- 1 Cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 3/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 6 Tbs Unsalted Butter melted
Apples
- 3 pound Honeycrisp Apples cored and sliced into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 Tbs Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F, and butter a 9x13 dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, and stir until there’s no dry flour.
- Add sliced apples to the buttered dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples have softened.
Notes
There is no need to peel the apples! Enjoy the color, texture, and fiber.
The recipe calls for Cinnamon as the standalone star spice. You could add a little nutmeg and allspice for a more traditional apple pie spice profile.
Sub out the all-purpose flour for different flour if you’d like - whole wheat for more fiber or gluten-free if you‘re sensitive to gluten.
