Apple Crumble

Apple Crumble

Healthy Fact of the Day

While Apple Crumble is a delicious dessert, it's high in sugar and calories. However, apples are a good source of fiber and vitamin C. To make this dish healthier, you can reduce the sugar content in both the filling and topping. Consider using whole wheat flour and adding nuts like almonds or walnuts to the topping for healthy fats and extra nutrients. You could also increase the oats and decrease the flour for more fiber. For a lighter version, try using a sugar substitute and less butter in the topping. Remember, desserts like this can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. Consider having a smaller portion and pairing it with a protein-rich food to help balance blood sugar levels.

Ingredients

 

  • 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice.

  3. Mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples and toss to coat.

  4. Spread apple mixture in a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  5. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon.

  6. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  7. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the apples.

  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.

  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

  10. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
