Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

4 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pinch of salt

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts, optional)

For Serving:

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

        Assemble the Crumble: Evenly spread the crumble topping over the apple filling in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the apples completely.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown.

            Cool and Serve: Allow the Apple Crumble Delight to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. For an extra treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
