how to make spiced apple crumble

first things first! you need to get a pan. i recommend using a deep pie dish for making this apple crumble recipe
preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
slice the apples. i prefer to slice the apples instead of chunks because they are able to cook all the way through
some recipe keep the apples plain, however, i find that the apples caramelize better when mixed with a little sugar and cinnamon. therefore, mix the apples with the granulated sugar and spices.
make the crumble topping. this topping comes together easily with just a few ingredients.
add the apple mixture to the bottom of the pie dish
next you will sprinkle the crumble on top in an even layer. press down slightly after to create a smooth top
bake for 45-60 minutes until the edges are browned and apples are fully cooked
you don't HAVE to do this but it is helpful to let cool before scooping so that the apple mixture is able to thicken
enjoy
