For the Spiced Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, 1 stick, cut into small cubes

In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.

Add the cold unsalted butter cubes to the dry crumble ingredients. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. The mixture should resemble coarse sand with some pea-sized pieces of butter. If the mixture seems too dry and isn't clumping slightly, add the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it just comes together.

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the apples are mostly covered.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the crumble topping is golden brown and bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil.

Remove the baked apples from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents burns.
