Instructions
 

For the Crumble Topping

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (roughly 190°C).
  • To a large bowl add 1 1/2 cups of oats, 3/4 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 2/3 cup of light brown sugar, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of ginger and give everything a good toss.
  • Slice 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) of cold unsalted butter into 1 Tbsp sized slices and add them to the bowl of oat mixture.
  • Use a dough blender or a large fork to blend the butter into the oat mixture. Mix until the mixture has no dry ingredients at the bottom. It should resemble wet large clumps of sand. Set the mixture in the fridge while you make the apple layer.

Spiced Apples

  • Peel and chop six apples and place them in a large bowl.
  • To the bowl of apples add 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp of cornstarch, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of allspice, 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. Toss until the apples are well coated.

For the Assembly

  • To a 10" round cake pan (or a 9x13" pan) add the apple layer and then the crumble topping from the fridge in an even layer.
  • Bake for 10 minutes on 375°F and then reduce the oven to 350°F (roughly 180°C) and bake for another 40 minutes or until the crumble topping is well browned and the apple layer is bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and definitely serve with your favorite vanilla ice cream!
