Ingredients
  

  • 4 apples
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • ⅔ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine half of the butter with around 2 tablespoon of brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, all purpose flour and rolled oats.
  • Use a fork to gently mix everything together. Transfer this to a Ziploc bag.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan and add the peeled, sliced apples, ground cinnamon and nutmeg and brown sugar.
  • Cook for 7-10 minutes on low heat, then take off heat and let it cool down completely. Transfer to a separate Ziploc bag.

Notes

  • Use firm baking apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn so the slices hold their shape during cooking and baking.
  • Slice the apples evenly and cook them just until they begin to soften, as they will continue cooking when the crumble is baked.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats for a crumbly topping with a little extra texture.
  • Mix the butter, flour, oats, and brown sugar gently with a fork until small crumbs form. Avoid overmixing into a smooth dough.
  • Allow the cooked apple filling to cool completely in the refrigerator before transferring it to a freezer-safe bag.
  • Freeze the apple filling and crumble topping separately to prevent the topping from absorbing moisture and becoming soggy.
  • Label both freezer bags with the date and freeze for up to 3 months for the best quality.
  • Thaw the apple filling overnight in the refrigerator, then transfer it to a baking dish and sprinkle the frozen crumble topping over it before baking.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
