Crumble is very similar to a crisp, but its soft streusel topping doesn’t contain oats. Instead, nuts are often used to give it an extra bite.

Ingredients

  • 3 Cortland apples , peeled, cut into 1/2-in. thick slices (about 4 cups)
  • 3 Granny Smith apples , peeled, cut into 1/2-in. thick slices (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg , (optional)

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans , (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter , grated
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

For filling:
1. Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Transfer to an 8 × 8-in. baking dish.

For Crumble Topping:
1. Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 350F.

2. Stir flour with brown sugar, pecans, butter, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the mixture until it’s crumbly and has a sandy texture. Sprinkle topping evenly over apple filling in prepared baking dish.
