Servings 6 -8
Equipment
- baking dish (8.5 X 10 in / 22 X 25 cm) approximately
Ingredients
For the filling
- 4 large apples (about 2 pounds / 1 kilo)
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- ¼ cup (60 ml) apple juice or water
For the crumble topping
- 1 cup (980 g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (127 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 g) dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113 g) margarine or vegan butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F / 190 °C.
Make the filling
- Peel and core the apples. Then cut them into ½ inch (about 1.5 cm) wedges. You can slice them into cubes or chunks, just make sure they are roughly the same size.
- Mix the brown sugar, flour, nutmeg and cinnamon and toss the mixture with the apples so they're all covered (I usually do this in the baking dish). Then spread them out so that they are in an even layer.
- Pour the apple juice over the apples.
Make the crumble topping
- Put all the topping ingredients in a bowl and stir them all together.
- Use your hands to combine everything together into large clumps. I like to keep some small clumps, too.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes (mine took 50 minutes).
- Enjoy!
Notes
MAKE-AHEAD TIP
You can easily freeze the crumble topping if you want to make it ahead. I spread it out on a tray and freeze it and then I divide it into portions and put it in freezer bags. You don’t need to thaw it before baking!
Picture Tutorial & Tips I have a detailed picture tutorial in my post to help you out with each step of the recipe as well as lots of tips to ensure success.
Baking Measurements
I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!
