To make this delightful slow-cooked dessert, you’ll need two main components: the Apple Filling and the Crumble Topping.

🍏 For the Spiced Apple Filling:

8 medium $\rightarrow$ 10 small firm apples 🍎 (A mix of Granny Smith and Fuji/Honeycrisp is ideal for flavor and texture!)
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (adjust to apple sweetness) 🍚
1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed 🍯
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for a gluten-free option) 🥄
1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ✨
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 🌰
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional, but highly recommended!)
1/2 cup (120ml) water or apple cider 💧

🧈 For the Buttery Crumble Topping:

1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour 🌾
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar 🍚
1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar 🍯
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ✨
1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
1 stick (1/2 cup, 113g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes 🧊
- Tip: For a quicker “cobbler” topping, you can substitute this with a yellow cake mix! 🎂
