A delightful twist on the classic apple cobbler, this recipe features a cinnamon-infused apple filling topped with a buttery crumble, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
Uniform slices help the apples cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Tossing the apples thoroughly ensures even coating of flavors.
Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
An even layer ensures uniform baking.
In another bowl, mix the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
Using cold butter helps achieve a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling.
Ensure the topping covers the filling completely for the best results.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Serving warm enhances the flavors and texture.
