Ingredients
- 5 Cortland apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- ¾ cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup of wholesome rolled oats
- ½ cup of rich packed brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon of flavorful ground nutmeg
- ½ cup of softened butter, cut into small cubes
Step 1
Get ready to embark on a delicious baking journey by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and greasing a 9-inch pie plate for the perfect pie creation.
Step 2
Prepare your apples and artfully arrange them in the pie plate, building a gentle mound of fruity goodness.
Step 3
In a spacious bowl, mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a flavorful crumble topping. Use a pastry blender or a trusty knife and fork to cut in the butter until the mixture reaches a crumbly consistency.
Step 4
Generously sprinkle this delectable crumble over the apples, ensuring every inch is covered with this mouthwatering blend.
Step 5
Bake your masterpiece in the preheated oven until the apples are tender, bubbling with sweet juices, and the top boasts a delightful golden hue, typically taking around 45 to 55 minutes.
Step 6
Allow your pie to cool gracefully for about 15 minutes before slicing into it, savoring each bite of this homemade delight.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your apples fresh and flavorful by storing them in a cool, dark place away from other produce. This will help prevent them from ripening too quickly.
- 2. To maintain the crunch in your oats and prevent them from going stale, store them in an airtight container in a dry pantry or cupboard.
