Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups peeled apples, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger, optional
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine the topping flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and optional ginger. Cut in the cold butter for 3 to 4 minutes, until large pea-size crumbs begin to hold together; refrigerate.
  3. Put the apples in a 2-quart baking dish and toss them with granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
  4. Scatter the cold crumble over the fruit without pressing it flat.
  5. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are tender. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Keep the topping cold until it goes into the oven so the crumbs hold their shape.
  • Mix the butter long enough for clumps to form; a powdery topping needs a little more cutting and tossing.
  • Use uniform one-inch apple pieces so the filling becomes tender at the same rate.
  • Nutrition information is an estimate calculated per serving and may vary by ingredient brand and portion size.
