Instructions

  8. Cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best results.
  • Add chopped nuts to the crumble for extra crunch.
  • Ginger snap crust adds a spiced twist to the base.
  • Use a water bath to prevent cracks, though it’s optional.
  • Can be made gluten-free with appropriate substitutions.
