Ingredients
3 medium Honeycrisp or Fuji apples
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
Slice the apples into thin, uniform rounds or wedges, removing the center core.
Toss the apple slices in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Arrange the apple slices in an overlapping layer on a large serving platter.
In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the butter into the mixture using a fork or fingers until it resembles a coarse meal.
Toast the crumble mixture in a small skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the warm crumble generously over the prepared apple slices.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the entire platter before serving.
Notes
Serve immediately to ensure the apple slices remain cold and crisp against the warm topping. You can customize the topping by adding chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for extra crunch.
