Farm Fresh Apple Crumble Recipe

Serves: 6-8
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 6-7 fresh farm apples (Honeycrisp, McIntosh, or any local variety), peeled, cored, and sliced

• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1/3 cup local honey or maple syrup

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

• A pinch of salt

For the Crumble Topping:

• 3/4 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or whole-wheat flour)

• 1/3 cup brown sugar or raw cane sugar

• 1/2 cup cold farm-fresh butter, cubed

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similarly sized dish.

2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

3. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter into the mixture until it becomes crumbly and the butter is well-distributed (the mixture should resemble coarse crumbs).

4. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.

5. Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s delicious on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream!

Enjoy your fresh farm apple crumble—perfectly cozy and satisfying!
