Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

4 medium-sized apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Braeburn), peeled and diced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For Serving:

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

A sprinkle of cinnamon or extra brown sugar for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are well coated. Set aside.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the topping is crumbly and well combined.

        Layer the Ingredients: In a series of 4-6 small glasses or jars, layer the apple filling evenly at the bottom. Follow with a generous layer of crumble topping on each glass.

          Bake: Place the filled glasses in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the glasses from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Optional: sprinkle with additional cinnamon or brown sugar for an extra touch.
