Harvest Apple Crumble

Little Family Adventure sometimes receives compensation and/or hosted travel and sample products related to blog posts. This story may contain affiliate links.

My daughter recently had a birthday. (Happy Birthday Baby!!) Instead of a traditional birthday cake, she asked for a Dutch Apple Pie. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough butter or lard to make a traditional crust. So, we compromised on my Harvest Apple Crumble instead. She LOVED it!! You will too!

A fruit crumble has all the flavor of a traditional pie, except there’s no flaky crust. There is a bit of flaky goodness on  top for those die-hard crust lovers. It’s like a cross between flaky and crumb topping. I love the gooey part of the crust that meets the filling. So I’m a HUGE fan of a crumble. Regardless, you’ll love this easy dessert recipe. 

One tip I want to share is to use at least two different types of apples for this dessert. All apples are not created the same. I used three this time, since I had them on hand. I used Gala, Golden Delicious, and Honeycrisp. They each impart a different sweetness and texture making this an scrumptious treat. You can also substitute other types of fruit (equivalent to 5 cups) for the apples. Berries work great in this recipe too.

So, here’s my recipe. Try it for yourself and tell me what you think!

Fruit filling
5-6 apples, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup cane sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Topping
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup cane sugar
1 cup white whole wheat flour

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Combine the apples and next 3 ingredients and place in a 9×9 baking dish.
  3. Place topping ingredients (butter, sugar, and flour) in a medium-sized bowl. Using a pastry blender or stiff fork, cut in butter until mixture resembled small pebbles.
  4. Sprinkle topping over apple mixture. Bake 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Allow crumble to cool slightly, then serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.

    We call this Apple Crisp, mine is similar no extra sugar over apples just sprinkle with cinnamon and my topping is 3/4 cup flour 1 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup butter/margarine. Cut together then pat down over apples and bake. It gets nice and crispy. Top with vanilla ice cream.

      When using a convection oven, decrease the temperature 25 degrees F and cook for the same time. Just keep an eye on it towards the end of the cooking time. He’s going to love it! 🙂
