**Apple Crumble**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
– 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are well coated, then spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples in the baking dish, covering them completely.
5. Bake the apple crumble in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
6. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy the apple crumble on its own or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave for a warm and comforting dessert anytime.
