Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ c. chopped apple pieces about 4-5, depending on size
  • 1 T. lemon juice
  • 3 T. cornstarch
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • ¼ t. Salt

Topping

  • 1 ½ c. flour
  • 1 t. Baking powder
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • ½ c brown sugar
  • 10 T. unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Dice approximately 4-5 apples into ½ inch size pieces or smaller.
  • Coat a baking dish 8×8 or larger with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Transfer the diced apples to the bottom of the dish. 
  • Sprinkle with lemon juice, cornstarch, ¼ c. sugar and salt. Toss to coat. Allow to set while making the topping. 
  • To make the topping
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, remaining ¼ c. sugar, brown sugar and melted butter.  Stir to combine until the mixture is crumbly in consistency. You should have some large and some small clumps..this is good. Do not overwork it. 
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping evening over the apple mixture. If your mixture is near the top of your baking dish, place the baking dish on a sheet pan to prevent an oven mess should your mixture bubble over the sides while baking.   
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crumble topping is slightly browned and the apple mixture shows some bubbling activity around the sides of the dish.  
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

To reheat

Place the dish bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes to retain the crunchy texture. Using the microwave to reheat will cause the crumble to soften.

Storage

Keep in an airtight container (or cover baking dish with clingwrap or foil) for up to 2 days.
