This Apple Crumble is a fall dessert you will want to make this season.

I love warm from the oven fall desserts, from pies to Plum Cake, and Pumpkin Bread to Apple Cider Donuts, and even simple baked pears.

Apple Crumble, also known as Apple Crisp, is a staple in my family’s kitchens. My father grew up in an apple orchard in the Yakima Valley of Washington state.

Now, years later, he still maintains a small apple grove. And when the apples are ripe in the fall, the first recipe we make is always Apple Crumble.

How Many Apples Do I Need?

This simple dessert is made with 2½ pounds of baking apples. I like Golden Delicious apples but other varieties like Braeburn, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp are good choices too.

Taste of Home has a detailed post on which apples are best for baking you might want to check out.

As a general rule of thumb, 1 lb of apples is equal to 2 large apples or 3 medium-size apples.

How to Make Apple Crumble

This is such a simple recipe to make. Step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post, but here’s a quick overview of how to make this easy apple crumble.

Make the crumble topping by combining the ingredients in a bowl and stirring with a fork until crumbly.
Slice the apples and toss with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch or flour and cinnamon. Transfer to a square baking dish, top with crumble.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is crisp.

Helpful Kitchen Tools

This apple peeler, corer, and slicer makes quick work of any apple dessert, like apple pie, crisps, tarts, baked apples… even peeling potatoes. It’s one of my favorite fall kitchen tools that transforms a somewhat tedious chore into a quick and easy fun chore!

I purchased mine at Amazon but I would highly recommend getting one wherever you buy your kitchen tools.
