Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Baking Dish
- Pastry cutter or fork
- Peeler
- Knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Oven
Ingredients
- 5 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar for the filling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for the crumble topping
- 1/2 cup rolled oats for texture and crunch
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup brown sugar for the crumble
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, core, and slice the apples, then toss them in a mixing bowl with granulated sugar and finely chopped rosemary to coat evenly.
- Spread the seasoned apple slices evenly into a baking dish, creating a thick, colorful layer.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend everything until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apple slices, covering them completely to form a generous topping.
- Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrast.
