Apple Crumble

I love fall and fall recipes. I have so many recipes that I only make this time of year.

This is one of my favorite apple recipes. It’s similar to apple crisp, but the topping is more like a cookie topping instead of an oatmeal topping. It’s not the healthiest recipe (but it is so yummy), so I usually only make it once a fall. 

Apple Crumble

Filling:
6 medium apples – cored and sliced thinly
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

Crumble
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate. Prepare filling in a large bowl. Combine apple slices, both sugars, and cinnamon; mix well. Transfer apple mix to pie plate.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Gather small amounts of crumb mixture and press together to make large streusel-like pieces.  
3. Arrange crumble randomly on top of filling. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. 

Notes: I usually use a sweet apple for this recipe, such as Golden Delicious or Gala. If you are using a tart apple, such as Granny Smith, you might want to add more sugar to the filling.
