# How To Make It:
01 - Set oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking.

03 - Place the apple mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it uniformly.
04 - In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cold diced butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt. Rub the mixture with fingertips until it forms coarse crumbs.
05 - Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.

07 - Allow to cool slightly before serving warm; optionally accompany with vanilla ice cream or custard.
# Tips from dashanddishes:
01 -
- It rescues any apples sitting forgotten in your fruit bowl and turns them into something people ask for by name.
- The topping bakes up so golden and crumbly that you will sneak bites straight from the pan before anyone sees.
02 -
- Do not skip chilling the butter, warm butter will melt into the flour and you will lose that crumbly texture everyone loves.
- If your apples are very tart, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the filling or the first bite might make you wince.
03 -
- Taste your apples raw before you start, if they are already sweet, cut the sugar in the filling by a tablespoon so the dessert does not taste like candy.
- Press the crumble topping gently with the back of a spoon before baking to create bigger clusters that turn extra crispy and golden.
