Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and core the apples. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on will give a nice texture and added nutrients.
- Slice the apples into evenly sized wedges or chunks, depending on your preference.
- In a large bowl, combine the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and a dash of salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Add the apple slices to the maple and balsamic mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Transfer the coated apple slices to a baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- Pour any remaining syrup mixture over the apples.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, all-purpose flour, chopped almonds, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon oat crumble over the prepared apples in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Use fresh, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- Toast the almonds lightly before mixing them into the crumble for added flavor and crunch.
- Be sure to evenly coat the apples with the maple syrup and balsamic mixture for a balanced taste.
- If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can increase the amount of brown sugar in the crumble topping.
- Keep an eye on the crumble while baking to ensure it doesn’t burn; it should be golden brown and crisp.
- Let the apples cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
