Easy and Delicious Cinnamon Apple Crumble

Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a dish until the cubes are evenly coated, helping them retain their color while you prepare the filling.

Toss the lemon-coated apples with the brown sugar in a dry skillet over medium heat until the sugar is evenly distributed among the cubes. Then cook the apple mixture over medium heat until the cubes begin to soften and release their juices into the bottom of the skillet.

Stir the cinnamon, nutmeg, and all-purpose flour into the apple filling over medium heat until the apples soften and the flour absorbs the liquid.

Mix the all-purpose flour, oats, and brown sugar in a bowl until evenly distributed and well combined.

Rub the softened butter into the crumble mixture with your fingertips until evenly incorporated and slightly clumped crumbs form.

Transfer the apple filling to the baking dish and spread it evenly over the base in a level layer.

Scatter the crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling without pressing it down, keeping the crumbs loose so they become crisp when baked.

Bake the crumble using the bake setting on the middle rack at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes, until the topping is golden.

Serve the apple crumble warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, so each serving combines the warm filling with the crisp topping.
