Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple filling.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
Serve:
Serve warm, plain, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Tips and Variations:
Apple Choice: A mix of sweet and tart apples (like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith) provides the best flavor. Other good options include Braeburn, Gala, and Fuji.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves to the apple filling for a warmer, spicier flavor.
Nuts: Walnuts, pecans, or almonds all work well in the topping or filling.
Make it Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and gluten-free oats.
Vegan Option: Use vegan butter substitute and ensure your sugar is vegan (some refined sugars are processed with bone char).
Storage: Leftover apple crumble can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
