Prep: 15 min · Cook: 40 min · Yield: 6 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 6 medium apples
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon flaky salt

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish. (about 5 min) — 375°F
2. Peel, core, and slice the apples 1/4 inch thick. Toss them in a bowl with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon, then spread them evenly in the baking dish. (about 10 min)
3. In the same bowl, stir together the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Add the melted butter and maple syrup, stirring until the mixture forms moist, crumbly clumps. (about 5 min)
4. Scatter the crumble evenly over the apples. Bake until the topping is deeply golden and the apples are bubbling and tender when pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. (about 40 min) — 375°F
5. Cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with the flaky salt. Serve warm. (about 10 min)
