Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Peel, core and slice the apples about 1/4 inch thick. Toss in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with the sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.
  3. In a bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and remaining cinnamon. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until it forms clumps.
  4. Scatter the topping evenly over the apples.
  5. Bake 40–45 minutes, until the topping is deep golden and the juices bubble thickly at the edges. Cool 10 minutes.
  6. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips & make-ahead

  • Make-ahead: Mix the crumble topping up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate, or freeze it for a month.
  • A 9-inch square baking dish works fine if you don't have a skillet.
