Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Golden Delicious
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup powdered milk
- ½ cup butter softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel, core and slice the apples. Place them in an 8" or 9" baking dish. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and pour water over them evenly.
- Mix the flour, brown sugar, powdered milk and butter in a bowl - press with a fork or your fingers until the crumble forms.
- Cover the apples with the crumble mixture. Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until golden on top.
- Let cool for a bit. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Fridge Storage & Reheating: Store your apple crisp in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F.
- Freezer Storage & Reheating: It can be frozen before or after baking. Cover it well with foil and in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 to 6 months. If it was already baked, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven. If it was unbaked before freezing, it can go straight into the oven from the freezer. Remember to cover it with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking.
- Toppings: It can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Consistency: Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. Thicker slices will hold their shape better, while thinner slices can create a softer filling.
- Don’t Overmix the Topping: When combining the butter with the dry ingredients, mix until just combined to achieve a nice, crispy-crumbly texture.
- Keep an Eye on the Crumble When Baking: Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Let it Rest: Let the apple crumble cool for a few minutes after baking. This will help the filling thicken and settle, making it easier to serve.
