Ingredients

Crumble Topping

6 ½ Tbsp salted butter, chilled and diced (½ Tbsp reserved to butter your dish) $0.97
⅔ cup all-purpose flour $0.08
⅓ cup light brown sugar $0.18
¼ tsp salt $0.01
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice $0.19

Filling

5 medium granny smith apples, cored (about 2 lbs) $5.00
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar $0.18
1 Tbsp cornstarch $0.05
1 tsp ground cinnamon $0.16
1 tsp ginger powder $0.45
⅛ tsp salt $0.01
2 Tbsp lemon juice $0.14

Instructions

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.
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.
Place your sliced apples in a mixing bowl and add light brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger powder, salt, and lemon juice.
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.
