Chef's Notes


Cinnamon is great, but why not try cardamom or ginger for something different? Play around with the spices to find what you like best.
Apples vary in sweetness, so adjust the sugar based on how sweet your apples are. Give the mix a taste before baking and tweak the sugar if needed.
If your apples are juicing up a lot, a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour mixed in with them can help thicken things up during baking.
For an even crunchier topping, throw in some rolled oats or chopped nuts. It’ll give your crumble that extra texture and a nice rustic look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I Make the Apple Crumble in Advance?

A: Yes, you can prepare the apple crumble in advance. If you're planning to bake it later, you can assemble the dish and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. When you're ready to bake, remove it from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, and then bake as directed.

Q: How Long Does Apple Crumble Last in the Fridge?

A: The apple crumble can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure it’s cooled to room temperature before covering it to avoid condensation. Store it in an airtight container or cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Q: What Type of Apples is Best for Apple Crumble?

A: The best apples for crumble are those that hold their shape and have a mix of sweet and tart flavors. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for their tartness and firmness. Other great options include Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or a mix of different varieties for depth of flavor.
