There is something so comforting about baked apples. It’s one of my favorite desserts.

Over the years I have made apple pies, crisps, galettes, and custardy apple tarts.

But this crumble is the simplest quickest and foolproof recipe of all.

It’s super easy to assemble and do ahead of time. I leave it on the counter and pop it into the oven when my guests arrive. As an added bonus, my whole house smells like heaven.

I bake it till the top it is golden brown and crispy. And everyone fights for the crunchy bits.

The best part is that unlike a cake it doesn’t need to cook at a certain temperature for an exact time to work. It can bake on high or low heat.

Just keep an eye on it and take it out when most of the liquid has cooked away and the crumble is golden.

If your oven is too hot and you think it is burning you can cover it with some foil.

Allow it to cool slightly before serving it with some vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. You can also use margarine or coconut oil instead of butter for a parve recipe.

Now excuse me while I face plant into a bowl of deliciousness.

It’s a game-changer if you want to become a Rockstar in the kitchen.
