Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds of apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for the crumble)
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Caramel sauce, for drizzling

How to Make Apple Crumble Tart

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Press half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared tart pan to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
5. Remove the crust from the oven and layer the apple mixture evenly over the crust.
6. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top of the apples, ensuring even coverage.
7. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown.
8. Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor.
• For added texture, consider incorporating chopped nuts into the crumble topping.
• Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the flour before mixing.
• Let the tart cool slightly to help it set before slicing.

Easy Variations

• Substitute pears for half of the apples for a different flavor profile.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the apple filling for a spiced kick.
• Use gluten-free flour to make the tart gluten-free.
• Swap out the caramel sauce for a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a different twist.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• A scoop of gelato for a creamy alternative.
• Fresh berries for a pop of color and freshness.
• A cup of warm spiced cider to complement the flavors.
