  2. Scatter the crumble generously over the apple filling, covering it evenly.

Notes

For the best crisp texture, use cold butter and don’t overwork the crumble—keep it chunky. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; reheat individual portions in the oven or toaster oven until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended as the crumble can soften. For a lighter option, swap half the butter for unsweetened applesauce while keeping the crumble clumpy.
