Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
For the oat crumble topping:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup whole rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1-2 tablespoons water or milk
For the apple filling:
- 3 pounds apples chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-by-13 inch baking dish.
Make the oat crumble topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, nuts, and salt. Then add the butter and stir until evenly incorporated. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or milk and mix until everything is moistened. The mixture should have the consistency of wet sand with medium sized crumbs.
Mix the apple filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the apples, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and water. Pour the apples into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Press the crumble mixture into some larger crumbs and sprinkle on top in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and crisp.
- Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly and serve warm. Optionally, enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or yogurt!
