Perfect Apple Crumble
This Perfect Apple Crumble recipe is a family favorite! It has a soft, sweet apple filling with a dash of cinnamon (optional) and a crumble topping that is wonderfully crunchy but chewy. When you dig into this dessert, I guarantee the entire family will fall calm. Your family will urge you to cook it again and over again.
When this is baking, the aroma is simply divine. The apple, the cinnamon, and the buttery delicious delight.
And then there’s that moment when you break through the nubbly golden topping and see golden syrupy, delicate apples…
It’s just a smidgeon of paradise right there.
I enjoy apple pie, but I’m not a huge fan of creating the crust. Apple crumble is 10,000 times easier to make and tastes even better, in my view. A thick, buttery cinnamon pecan crumble wins out over a flaky crust every time. All of your baking questions will be answered below.
Is it Necessary to Peel the Apples?
Nope! The skin has no discernible effect on the taste or texture, thus it’s not worth the trouble. Plus, they’re quite attractive—especially if you use pink-hued apples.
What about Substitutes for Ingredients?
This perfect apple crumble recipe is so adaptable that you can make a pear or peach crumble just by switching out the fruit! Do you have a nut allergy? Replace the pecans with peanuts or shelled sunflower seeds, or leave them out entirely.
