Easy Apple Crumble
This easy apple crumble bakes tender spiced apples under a buttery oat topping in one 13 by 9 pan. Twenty minutes of prep and no pie crust required, and it serves eight.
Ingredients
Filling
- 10 cups Apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

- 1 cup Quick Oats
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter, melted
Instructions
- Spread apples in an even layer in a 13x9 pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon.
- Distribute the mixture evenly over the apples. Pour water into the pan.
- To prepare topping, combine all of the topping ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Mix until the texture becomes crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Christina's Notes
- Use Firm Apples: Granny Smith holds its shape through a 45 minute bake without turning to sauce.
- Cover Edge to Edge: Exposed apples dry out, so spread the topping across the whole pan.
- Do Not Skip the Water: The quarter cup keeps the filling from drying during the long bake.
- Watch for Bubbling: A brown top alone is not doneness. Look for bubbles at the pan edges.
- Rest Before Serving: Ten minutes lets the filling set so it scoops instead of running.
