Cinnamon Apple & Oat Crumble

Cinnamon Apple & Oat Crumble

Tender cinnamon apples beneath a buttery oat topping. An easy, generous bake for a quiet afternoon and a table full of spoons.

Adjust servings to scale ingredients. Pan size and cooking time may need to change.

You'll need: A 9-inch square baking dish, two mixing bowls, and a knife

Ingredients

• 900 g apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 5 mm thick
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 40 g brown sugar, for the apples
• 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 100 g rolled oats
• 100 g all-purpose flour
• 75 g brown sugar, for the topping
• 0.25 tsp fine salt
• 100 g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)

Let’s make it

1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, the sugar for the apples, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Tip into the baking dish and spread in an even layer.
3. In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, topping sugar, and salt. Rub the cold butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until you have a mixture of small crumbs and pea-sized clumps.
4. Scatter the topping loosely over the apples. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden, the filling bubbles at the edges, and a knife slides easily into the apples. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
5. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and add vanilla ice cream if you like.
