  Found this recipe and thought I’d give it a try. Absolutely delicious. I have no idea what kind of apples I used as they are on trees that came with the property when I bought it, but I made this recipe twice with different apples and each batch came out perfectly. The second time I did use 1/2 cup less sugar because my apples are fairly sweet tasting and I’m trying to stretch my budget but it made no difference to the taste. I also made it without the lemon juice and used flour for the cornstarch in case anybody else doesn’t keep cornstarch and lemon juice on hand either. Thanks so much for this recipe. Will be making this over and over again, especially since I have three apple trees.

  I recently made a trip to an orchard and came home with more apples than I know what to do with. Hard to go wrong with an apple crumble! I used a variety of different apples and reduced the amount of sugar in the filling by more than half. The apples with the crumble topping are probably sweet enough without any extra sugar, especially if you're using a tart apple like Granny Smiths. Thank you for the recipe, perfect for a fall dessert.

  I’ve made this before but I never peel the apples I know I’m a crazy cook ,but it’s wonderful and I double it and I let it bake for 50min on 375 but I watched it so the crumble didn’t burn ;o) thanks for putting a smile on me and my families faces

  That was delicious! Delicate, buttery, and I added pears... actually just one... but my apples were small and I needed a bit more fruit! One of my new favorite recipes! I used a good European butter too and I really think that was the magic! Bravo!!! Yummm yummy!

  This was easy to make and came out very tasty! The crumbles are perfection. For us, the Granny Smith apples were a little too tart so next time I make this I’ll use a different variety of apple. Otherwise, simple, delicious, and perfect to usher in the fall season.

  Wow - delicious! Full disclosure I only used a little cinnamon sugar on the apples and I made the crumble with gluten free flour ( Bobs 1:1 ) and only cinnamon and no salt only salted butter ( this is what I had on hand ) A M A Z I N G - thank you so much for sharing - I can’t wait to see what else you can do!!! Thank you!

  Made this recipe with Splenda brown sugar with 1/4 cup less sugar than the recipe and it was delicious.

  I tried this today, and I must say, I am so impressed with the result. It was easy and so simple but really really delicious. My whole family loved it. Want to try all your recipes

  This is the best apple crumble I have ever had. Don’t change a thing when you make this. I could have taken a fork and eaten the whole thing.
• Mary on 2025-03-04 (5 stars):
  This was delicious! It took me a long time to chop the apples. If I slice them, as you would for a pie, how should the cooking instructions be altered?

  Hi, I was wondering if homemade apple pie filling could work with this recipe. The filling in the recipe is pretty much what I put in my homemade canned filling. I am just wondering if not I will do it the way you do it because it sounds and looks delicious. Also the added bonus of no oats in the topping I have not tried the recipe yet that is why I have not rated it, but it sounds amazing. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Deb
