Ingredients

• 4 cups Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 sheet Pastry pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 pieces Small mason jars (8 oz each)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease the insides of 6 small mason jars.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss until the apples are well coated.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the apple mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 4

To make the crumble topping, combine the cold diced butter, rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt in a medium bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use the lid of the mason jars or a similarly sized round cutter to cut out 6 circles of pastry. Place one pastry circle at the bottom of each mason jar, pressing gently.

Step 6

Spoon a heaping portion of the apple mixture into each jar, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in each jar, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

Step 8

Place the mason jars on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Carefully remove the jars from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence, or seal and refrigerate the jars for up to 3 days for later enjoyment.
