Once golden on the top, remove from the oven. Serve with ice cream, custard, or whipped cream. 

Notes

🍎 Use Different Apple Varieties: Experiment with different apple varieties. I would really recommend combining sweet and tart apples together. It gives the apple crumble a unique taste. A little sweet and a little tart. 💫

🌰 Different Topping Add-Ins: Add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the oat topping for added crunch.
