  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until crumbly.
  6. Spread the crumble mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once, until golden brown.
  7. Allow the crumble topping to cool slightly.
  8. Layer the apple filling and crumble topping into small jars.
  9. Repeat the layers until the jars are filled.
  10. Add optional toppings such as whipped cream or caramel sauce before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Fuji, and Gala apples work well for this recipe.
  • Store the crumble topping separately for the crunchiest texture if preparing ahead.
  • Granola can be used instead of homemade crumble topping for a quicker option.
  • Add nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving if desired.
  • These jars are delicious served warm or chilled.
