Ingredients

• 6 large Granny Smith apples
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon, finely grated Fresh ginger root
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch square or round baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples, then toss them with lemon juice in a large mixing bowl to prevent browning.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger to the apples. Mix until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract over the oat mixture. Stir with a spoon until the mixture forms clumps and resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture, ensuring the apples are fully covered.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
