Apple Crumble

This is a phenomenal dessert! Similar to an apple crisp or apple cobbler, it tastes fantastic when served right from the oven with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. A perfect mixture of warm apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats is sure to leave you wanting more.

Ingredients:

- 2 pounds green apples (we used 3 medium apples), peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, divided
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place 1 tablespoon butter in a glass 9x9 or 8x8 inch pan and place it in the oven until the butter is melted, then tilt the pan to allow the butter to coat the bottom.

Place the apple slices in a large bowl and add the sugar and water. Mix to combine, then place apples and any remaining sugar water from the bottom of the bowl into the prepared pan.

Sift the flour and cinnamon together into a medium bowl. Use a pastry blender to mix in the remaining 7 tablespoons of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the brown sugar and oats; mix well.

Sprinkle the brown sugar topping over the apples in the pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until the apple is tender and the topping is golden.

Suggestion: Serve warm over ice cream or frozen yogurt.
