A delightful twist on the traditional apple crumble, this recipe combines the comforting flavors of baked apples with a crispy, buttery topping.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel, core, and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces.
Uniform pieces cook evenly and look appealing.
Place the apple pieces, cloves, and water into a casserole dish.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor.
Cover the dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes to soften the apples.
Microwaving speeds up the cooking process.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter, rubbing them together until crumbly.
Cold butter works best for a crumbly texture.
Stir in the brown sugar and oats to the flour mixture.
Mix thoroughly for an even topping.
Spread the topping evenly over the softened apples in the casserole dish.
Ensure the topping covers the apples completely for a uniform crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the topping is golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the topping to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serving warm enhances the dessert's comforting appeal.
