Tips:
- Choose a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor profile.
- Soak dates in water for a few minutes if they are too hard to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for a better texture in the crumble topping.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
- Add a pinch of salt to the crumble topping to enhance the flavors.
- Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra indulgence.
