How to Make Apple Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Coat a 12 x 8 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Cut 6 medium apples in half lengthwise.
  4. Remove the cores and stems and discard.
  5. Cut the apples into thin slices.
  6. In the prepared baking dish, combine the apple slices with 1/2 cup applesauce.
  7. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly with applesauce.
  8. Spread the apples evenly in the baking dish.
  9. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup wheat germ, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  11. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted unsalted butter.
  12. Mix with your fingers until the oil and butter are evenly distributed and the mixture is crumbly.
  13. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
  14. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling and tender.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
