Equipment

Ingredients

Topping

  • 2 ½ - 2 ¾ graham crackers 2 full sleeves
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup cold butter, diced or grated 2 sticks

Apples

  • 8 - 10 apples I use half green and half red; see notes for a tip on sweetness
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • teaspoon ground cloves
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.

Topping

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and whisk together. Either cut butter into chunks or use a large-hole cheese grater to grate it into the dry mixture. Use hands or pastry cutter to combine until crumbly. Set aside.

Apples

  • Core, peel, and slice or dice apples. Toss them with flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and spread out in a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle topping evenly on top.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, until apples are tender (not mushy) and crumbly is golden brown. Cool down a little and then serve warm over vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • If using all tart, green apples, increase brown sugar in filling by 4 tablespoons.
