Equipment

  • 1 1.5 quart baking dish (or an 8 inch baking dish)

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups apples, chopped into 1"-2" cubes, or thinly sliced (peeled or unpeeled)
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Topping

  • 1½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup butter, softened (regular or vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Apple Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • Add the chopped apples into the 1.5 quart baking dish you will use for baking (or a large bowl if preferred). Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss until evenly coated. If using a bowl, transfer the mixture to your baking dish.

Topping

  • In a medium bowl, add flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Use your hands, a fork, or a pastry cutter to mix everything together until it's fully combined.
  • Sprinkle the crisp mixture evenly over top of the apples. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is a light golden brown.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream (dairy free or regular). Enjoy!

Notes

Apples: any variety works, but a firm, crisp apple is better than a soft mushy one like Red Delicious. Keep in mind that using a tart apple (like Granny Smith), will give you a less sweet apple crumble than a sweeter apple will.
Store covered in the fridge (up to 5 days) or at room temperature (up to 4 days).
