    What makes apple crumble so good?

    ย 
    Apple crumble is a classic fall-inspired dessert that is easy to make and versatile to serve.

    I like how the flavor of the apples comes out when baked making this dessert so tasty and comforting!

    Have you tried my recipe for No Sugar Added Apple Cake?

    That apple cake recipe is another simple and delicious recipe made with apples and no added sugar.
    Both this apple crumble recipe and that apple cake are especially perfect ideas for a fall dessert!

    To make this recipe you will need to first peel your apples. You can find inexpensive apple peelers here.

    Ingredients you need to make apple crumble.

    • Apples. Your apples should be peeled, cored, and sliced in a uniform size of about ยผ" thick. Granny Smith is a popular choice for this recipe. I like to use a couple of good variety baking apples for this recipe at a time.
    • Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg. The cinnamon used in both the filling and the topping.
    • Lemon Juice. The apples are tossed in the apple juice to help them maintain their color. Some folks will sub in a bit of water with the lemon juice to make it less 'lemony'.
    • Flour or Oats. Rolled oats work best in this recipe for texture. You are welcome to use the oat of your choice or substitute in flour (like gluten free flour or a low carb flour), making adjustments if needed.
    • Butter. The butter should be melted. If you are using unsalted butter, add a quarter teaspoon of salt. Also, coconut oil can work in this recipe.
    • Optional add-ins. Chopped nuts and/or a brown sugar alternative as needed for sweetness.

     
    Expert Tip๐Ÿ‘‰ You can drizzle honey, sugar free honey, maple syrup, or sugar free syrup over the baked crumble for added flavor.

    How to make Apple Crumble without sugar.

    1. Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a baking dish for nonstick. You can also make this in individual ramekins, making adjustments in baking time. I would place the ramekins on a baking sheet as well.
    2. Place your apples in a large mixing bowl.
    3. In a small bowl, use a fork or small whisk to combine together the lemon juice with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Then pour the mixture over the apples and toss the apples so that the mixture is evenly dispersed. Transfer the ingredients to your prepared baking dish, spreading out the apples evenly.
    4. Next, to make the crumble add the remaining ingredients (flour/oats, melted butter, and remaining cinnamon) to a mixing bowl and mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly. Then sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, covering them evenly.
    5. Bake the apple crumble in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples appear to be tender.
    6. Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly before serving.

    Tips for making the best apple crumble.

    For a recipe such as this one, an apple that is both tart and that can hold up to baking works best. Good choices include Granny Smith, Jonathan, or Pink Lady apples .

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Oats can be used to make the crumble topping on this dessert. While any kind of oat could work for a crumble topping, old fashioned rolled oats work best as they are larger and have a better texture.
    2. Flour, (such as all purpose flour, gluten free flour or a low carb flour) can alternatively be used to make the crumble instead of the oats. The flour that you select should measure like all purpose flour for best results.
    3. When you bake the crumble, bake it until the topping begins to brown and the apples appear to be tender. Then let the crumble sit at room temperature to set before serving.
    4. To store apple crumble in the freezer, first wrap it tightly in several layers of plastic wrap, aluminum foil or in a freezer-safe container. When you are ready to eat the leftover apple crumble, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. Then you can reheat it in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until it is heated through and the topping is golden brown.

      I am confused. Does the topping have a brown sugar alternative or not?
