To make an apple crumble, you will need a few key ingredients such as apples, sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon, and lemon juice. The process involves peeling and slicing the apples, tossing them with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon, and then placing them in a baking dish. In a separate bowl, you will mix flour, sugar, and butter to create the crumble topping. Once the topping is crumbly, you will spread it evenly over the apples in the baking dish. The dish is then baked in the oven until the apples are tender and the crumble topping turns golden brown. This delicious dessert can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The sweet and tangy flavors of the apples combined with the crunchy crumble make for a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:
- 4 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- Whipped cream or ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, add the sliced apples and drizzle them with lemon juice. Mix well to coat all the apple slices with lemon juice, which helps prevent browning.

- Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the apple slices, tossing gently to evenly coat the apples with the mixture.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the apple slices and stir gently to combine. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix well.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use your hands or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Place the coated apple slices in a baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
