A delightful dessert featuring a medley of fruits and a crunchy topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
Add the dried cranberries and pumpkin pie spice to the apples. Toss to combine.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased baking dish.
Spread the fruit evenly for uniform baking.
In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and oats. Mix well.
Break up any lumps in the sugar for a smoother topping.
Cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a crumblier texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
Press the topping gently to adhere it to the fruit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender.
Check the crumble halfway through and rotate if needed for even baking.
Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite topping.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
