🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice; spread into a 9-inch baking dish.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. 3
    Rub cold cubed butter into dry ingredients with your fingertips until crumbly clumps form.
  4. 4
    Scatter crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  5. 5
    Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until fruit is tender and bubbling and the topping is deep golden brown and crunchy.
  6. 6
    Serve warm drenched in traditional British warm vanilla custard or vanilla ice cream.
💡 Chef's Insider Tip: Using cold cubed butter and rubbing it by hand creates pea-sized clumps that bake into crunchy clusters instead of a flat crust.
