FILLING
2 lbs granny smith apples (about 5 medium to large)
1 lb apples, McIntosh (about 2 large) or 1 lb apple, Cortland (about 2 large)
1/4 cup rum or 1/4 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons boiled cider (optional but good)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
STREUSEL TOPPING
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats, old fashioned
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons butter (one stick)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
3
Place them in a bowl with the remainder of the filling ingredients and stir vigorously to combine. In the process, the apple pieces will break into smaller bits; this is fine.
4
Spoon the apple mixture into a lightly greased 9x9 cake pan, or a ceramic pan of similar capacity and surface area.
5
TOPPING:
6
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the butter, cutting it in as you would when making piecrust.
7
Mix until crumbly; if you work it too much the mixture will clump together, so use a light touch but be thorough.
8
Sprinkle topping over the filling.
9
Bake the crumble for 1-1/2 hours or until it's hot and bubbly and a deep, golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it cool to lukewarm before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
