Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
⏱️ 5 min•🌡️ 375°F - 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Add the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and toss gently to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
⏱️ 10 min - 3
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Dot the top of the apples with the small pieces of 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
⏱️ 2 min - 4
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients.
⏱️ 3 min - 5
Add the 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter cubes to the oat mixture. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
⏱️ 5 min - 6
Evenly sprinkle the spiced oat topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the apples are well covered.
⏱️ 1 min - 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender when pierced with a knife.
⏱️ 40 min•🌡️ 375°F - 8
Remove the apple crumble from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents it from being too runny.
