"This apple crumble is a cherished family recipe, combining tender apples with a buttery, crispy topping for a comforting dessert that warms the heart" said Grandma

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 600-800 g apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 5 g cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheating the Oven: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
