Easy Apple Crumble Recipe
Hot Apple Crumble with a big scoop of Ice Cream is a delicious treat! Serve this for an American summer holiday, or for a cold winter’s dessert.
Easy Apple Crumble recipe is true comfort food with sweet caramelized apple filling and crunchy cinnamon topping. Total crowd pleaser!
I’ve been looking forward to sharing this recipe with you all for quite some time. My oldest daughter’s birthday was in January and instead of cake and ice cream she wanted an Apple Pie.
Sadly, I am very pie crust challenged, so I had suggested an Apple Crumble instead. She said as long as it’s served hot with ice cream she would love it.
When I posted it on instagram, I realized I had never shared the recipe on the blog. Shame on me. Hoarding this delicious crumble all for myself.
Then earlier this summer I shared this Blueberry Lime Crumble…and again realized I’ve yet shared my apple version.
How to Make Apple Crumble
STEP 1: Peel and dice 4 apples. Combine apples in a large bowl with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Pour into a 2 qt baking dish.
STEP 2: Combine crumble ingredients: brown sugar, cinnamon, oats, flour, butter. I find it easiest to use my hands to make the crumble. Sprinkle over the top of apple mixture, pressing lightly.
STEP 3: Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 50 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or ice cream!
Best apples for Apple Crumble
I like to use a tart apple, like Granny Smith or Golden Delicious. However, you really can’t go wrong with any fresh apple.
Just peel and dice and enjoy the fresh comfort food of an apple pie without a crust!
Can Apple Crumble be made in advance?
Absolutely!
To make ahead, just assemble, cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake (up to 24 hours).
I don’t recommend freezing apple crumble, as I haven’t seen good success. The filling tends to get too watery, and the topping doesn’t have a good crunch.

Thanks Betsy!!
Apple crumble is seriously one of my all time favorite desserts — LOVE this!!
You and me both!!
I love how your daughter went out of the norm for birthday cake! This sounds like the perfect alternative!
I definitely wasn’t complaining 🙂
I’m with your daughter – if it’s warm and served with ice cream, count me in!
Right?? Nothing to complain about with this choice!
Your daughter is awesome. I love how she knows what she wants!
No peeling makes this especially appealing. Ooh, that rhymed! It looks great!
Haha Mir!
Warm apple crumble definitely has to have vanilla ice cream. This looks amazing!! Gotta love those Crunch Pak apples 🙂
Absolutely! 🙂
I have been really craving a good crumble lately but didn’t know which kind to make. An apple crumble might just be what I am looking for 🙂 This looks so amazing.
I’ve got a delicious blueberry lime crumble on the blog too, but apple is always my first choice!

Your daughter has good taste! I used to always ask for apple pie for my birthday! I definitely would have been happy with some of this crumble!
Haha, that’s funny that you asked for pie too!
Apple crumble is pretty much my all time favorite dessert. It even gets ranks higher than anything chocolate. There’s something about a crumb topping that just can’t be beat!
Yeah, the topping is *almost* the best part.
I like that you chose to use lemon and light brown sugar. really adds to the flavor!
Thank you Lori!
This looks delicious, Aimee, and I’ve really been craving some fall flavors already like pumpkin and apples. It seems absurd to have these cravings with all the great stone fruit and berries around, but I really miss them. This crumble is REALLY making me them, and I love your photos! 🙂
I’ve got a can of pumpkin on my counter today!! I guess I’m craving fall too 🙂
dont think you can ever go wrong with a good apple crumble, so craving a bowl right now… yum!
Thanks Thalia. Guess you better head to the kitchen and get baking 🙂
It’s getting to be that time of year. Love apple season. The kids are already bugging me to buy apples. DeLish!
We always have a bag of the Crunch Pak Organic Apples in our fridge – they’re are favorite grab and go snack. This crumble looks like a mighty fine snack as well.
I’m SO IN LOVE. This is the best crumble ever!

ok so … i didn’t blend in butter with dry top ingredients, I saw that after. It’s in the oven and topping looks very strange and dry. Next time I will work the butter in better even with a fork.
