Apple crumble is best in the fall when apples are at their peak, but honestly, you can make it any time of year. I don’t think anyone would turn it down if you made it for Christmas, Easter, or 4th of July.
I know you can’t wait to make this simple apple crumble dessert, but I have a good feeling you’ll want to try our caramel apple cobbler, mini apple pies, all made with our life-changing homemade apple pie filling.

Storage

For longer storage, wrap it tightly and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it in the fridge overnight, then warm in the oven for about 10 minutes.
FAQ
Certainly. Assemble everything up to a day in advance, and then you’re ready; just pop it in the oven.
First, you’ll want to use cold butter for the topping. It melts more slowly, thus crisping up the topping. As for the leftovers, reheat them in the oven. Reheating in the microwave will leave leftovers soggy.
