Apple Crumble

 I found this recipe on the New York City Cooking Calendar. It is a little different than the apple crisp I usually make so thought I would add it here.

Apple Crumble

Ingredients:

• 12 T. unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled outs
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 3 1/2 lbs mixed apples, such as Granny Smith, Macintosh and Pink Lady, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch wedges (about 8 medium apples)
• 1 T. cinnamon 
• 2 T. fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Butter a 9 X 13 inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, the oats, pecans and the salt.  Add the butter, and stir with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
3. Add the apples to the buttered baking dish and toss remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Spread the apples into an even layer. 
4. Press the crumb mixture together to create clumps of different sizes, and sprinkle on top of the apples. 
5. Transfer to the oven and bake until the apples are tender and the crumb topping is crisp and deep golden brown, about 50-60 minutes. 
6. Serve warm or at room temperature.
