Crispy Apple Crumble

1️⃣ Preheat the oven:

Preheat to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish (about 9×9 inches).
2️⃣ Prepare the apple filling:

In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3️⃣ Make the crumble topping:

In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt.
Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you get a crumbly texture.
Stir in the chopped nuts if using.
4️⃣ Assemble & bake:

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling underneath.
5️⃣ Serve & enjoy:

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce! 🍦🍮
