UPCOUNTRY APPLE CRUMBLE
Ingredients:
2-3 large apples
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup butter, chilled, cut into small chunks
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375Β°. Lightly butter a 10″ round baking dish. Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. (A Spiralizer does a perfect job.) Combine apples with lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Mix well. Arrange mixture in the bottom of the baking dish. To make the crumble topping, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, oatmeal, and butter in a food processor. Pulse mix until crumbly and butter is the size of peas. Spoon topping over apples, spreading to the edges. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Bake 40 minutes or until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream.
