Advice

Making a delicious apple crumble is a simple and rewarding process. First, preheat your oven to 350°F and select a 9-inch baking dish. To make the crumble topping, mix together 2/3 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Cut 1/4 cup of cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Mix until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients. Peel, core, and slice your apples into thin pieces and place them in the baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Enjoy your delicious apple crumble warm with a scoop of ice cream!
