Ingredients
  

For the apple filling:

4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp cornstarch

For the crumble topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For serving:

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)

Drizzle of caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.

    Prepare the Apple Filling:

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.

        - Toss the apples until they are evenly coated and the sugar and spices are distributed.

          Make the Crumble Topping:

            - In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.

              - Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

                - Stir in the vanilla extract to combine.

                  Assemble the Crumble:

                    - Pour the apple mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

                      - Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the apples, ensuring complete coverage.

                        Bake:

                          - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

                            Cool and Serve:

                              - Allow the crumble to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

                                - Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
