This is a simple, straightforward recipe packed with flavors that reward as a lovely desert. It combines warm autumn spices with fresh apples, softness with a crunch. We served ours with vanilla ice cream but maple ice cream could be a good pairing as well.

Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 1 lb Whole apples (braeburn, golden delicious, gala, granny smith, etc., or a mix)
- 1/2 tbsp. Flour
- 1/4 c Sugar
- 1/4 tsp. Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Allspice
- 1 tbsp. Lemon juice
Crumble Topping
- 1/2 c Rolled oats
- 1/2 c Flour
- 1/2 c Brown sugar (loosely packed)
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. Baking powder
- 5 tbsp. Butter, melted
- 1 pinch Salt (only if using unsalted butter)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2" cubes.
- In a medium bowl, mix apples with flour, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice with a wooden spoon. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Set aside to rest.
- In a medium bowl, combine all crumble topping ingredients and stir to combine. You should start seeing clumps forming; if not, add more melted butter.
- Pour apples into a 1.5 qt baking dish (roughly 6x9") and distribute evenly. Pour the topping mixture over the apples and spread evenly.
- Bake 30 minutes uncovered, until the top is a golden brown and the pear mixture is starting to bubble up the sides. Check at 20 mins to see if it is browning evenly and rotate as necessary.
- When done, let sit loosely covered for 5 mins. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
