I took the kids Apple picking the other day. It was such a fun experience. Not only are apples so good off the tree, but the kids had a fun time tasting each of the apple varieties to see which one they liked best. The Macintosh has always been a favorite of mine but the Macoun and the E
Empire were pretty amazing. Maybe anything off a tree is just amazing. Fresh picked apples have this crunch that you just don’t get from an Apple you purchase in the grocery, Sorry but that’s the truth! So now that I have 25 lbs of apples I needed something to do with them. So I remember growing up I always made crumbles, they are so quick to make and when we were kids we absolutely devoured them in minutes. So I got my little helpers to help me peel and chop and in about 10 minutes the crumble was ready for the oven. I wanted to experiment with more apple baking but my kids wanted this every night for the next week. So I guess Apple crumble is a staple in this house, just like it was in mine.
Ingredients
- 5-6 large apples peeled and chopped small, I used a variety feel free to experiment (Granny’s are a little more tart, Macoun, and Macs are a little more sweet in my book any apple is a winner)
- Topping
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup oil (I used canola)
Directions
- Peel and chop apples and place in a 8 or 9 inch baking dish.
- Mix all the ingredients for the topping until it comes together like coarse sand.
- Sprinkle enough topping to coat the top of the apples if you have leftover crumbs you can freeze for a later time.
- Bake uncovered 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until apples are soft and crumbs are crunchy and golden.
Serve warm!
You can serve with ice cream but it was so good we didn’t even have time to get the ice cream to the table before the entire dish was gone.
Enjoy!
