Ingredients
- For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup (84 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (70 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 g) dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (112 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- For the Apple Filling:
- 2/3 cup (133 g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (24 g) arrowroot starch or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 7 cups (840 g) peeled and diced apples
- 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Place a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil in the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture forms large crumbs. Chill the topping in the freezer until ready to use.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, and salt. Add the diced apples and almond extract. Toss gently to coat.
- Assemble: Spoon the apple filling evenly into the prepared skillet. Sprinkle the chilled crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake: Place the skillet on the preheated baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, or butterscotch drizzle.
- Storage: Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
