Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 4 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 lbs apples peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2/3 cup sugar brown or white, both delicious (we prefer brown)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Topping:

  • 3/4 cup a.p. flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter softened to smooshy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350

  2. Add cornstarch and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl. Mix.

  3. Peel and thinly slice the apples. Add to bowl.

  4. Add the sugar and cinnamon. Mix ingredients.

  5. Pour into an 8"x8" (or 9"x9") Pryex pan. Set Aside.

Prepare Topping:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients (except the butter) and mix well.

  2. Make sure your butter is super soft but not melting. Add to the topping mixture.

  3. Use your hands to get the butter mixed into all of the mixture. This will really work out your arm! You'll be squeezing it together to make clumps.

  4. Place the clumps over the apples. Completely cover all of the apples until none are visible (you don't want them burning).

  5. Place on a sheet pan (in case your apples give off liquid).

  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking at 45 to make sure your crumble isn't burning.
