Apple Cinnamon Crumble Delight

Ingredients

- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even and thorough cooking of the crumble.

2. Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with orange juice, tossing to coat the apples completely. This adds a subtle tang and keeps the apples from browning.

3. Arrange Apples: Spread the apple slices evenly in a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). This ensures an even layer for consistent cooking.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until well-mixed.

5. Incorporate the Butter: Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour and sugar mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

6. Assemble the Crumble: Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples in the baking dish. Press gently to ensure it adheres and forms a nice crust when baked.

7. Bake the Crumble: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The apples should be tender, and the crumb topping should be golden brown and crispy.

8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. This dessert can be served warm or at room temperature.
