Apple Crumble

Ingredients

8 apples
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup cold (or frozen) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup of oats
2 tsp of cinnamon

Method

Peel and core the apples and cut into fairly large chunks. Put them in the lemon juice.

Take about 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and 1 tsp of the cinnamon and toss with the apples to coat.

In a bowl, mix the oats and the rest of the brown sugar and the cinnamon. Grate, the butter into the mixture and smash it around with your hands until it comes together in small pea-sized lumps. Don’t do it too much or you’ll melt the butter.

With the apples in an oven-safe dish, top with the crumbly topping, pressing down a little bit to secure it in place.

Place uncovered in a 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes to an hour, until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Serve it with vanilla ice cream, hot from the oven or room temperature.
