Ingredients
  

6 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) (optional)

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice until they are well coated. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you like, stir in the chopped nuts for added crunch.

        Assemble the Dish: Spread the marinated apple slices evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the apples, ensuring that it's evenly distributed.

          Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown. You may cover the dish with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes, then remove it to allow the topping to crisp up.

            Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
