- Stir over medium heat for 3 minutes, until fragrant and slightly toasted.
- Transfer the crumble mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, 4-5 medium apples (about 2 lbs) peeled, cored, and sliced, 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the skillet.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until apples are tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a 2-quart casserole dish, layer half of the apples and half of the crumble mixture.
