Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine white sugar, softened butter, and flour until crumbly to create the topping.
- Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the apples and pour water evenly over them.
- Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Use a mix of sweet and tart apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for balanced flavor.
For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or oats to the crumb topping.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
