Warm, juicy apples are dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg, packed into a light, homemade pie crust, and topped with an oat-based crumb. Irresistible. You'll find yourself making this crumble recipe again and again whenever the temperatures start to turn. There's also no better way to use up that bounty from your recent trip to the apple orchard. You should also feel free to use a variety of apples, such as McIntosh, Granny Smith, and Jonagold, to mix things up a bit and to use up any apples you have on hand. Also, if you like your apple filling a bit saucier, simply bake for an additional 10 minutes.
