Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350° F and butter a baking dish (my dish was 8x10”), set aside for now. Add salted butter, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice/apple pie spice to a medium size mixing bowl.

Firmly mix crumble ingredients together by hand, breaking it up into little pieces, and freeze for 10 minutes.
- 3
Peel most of your apples (I left the skin on a few apples because I think it’s a nice little color pop) and slice into thin 1/8” slices.
- 4
Place your sliced apples in a mixing bowl and add light brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger powder, salt, and lemon juice.
- 5
Toss filling ingredients together and pat down into the baking dish. Then, add frozen crumble on top.

Bake for 40-45 min or once the crumble on top turns golden brown.
