Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt. Toss until apples are fully coated.
  4. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Spoon the crumble topping over the apples, covering completely.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the topping is golden-brown and juices are bubbling around the edges.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Cut apples into ¼ inch thick slices for even cooking. Toss apple slices with cornstarch to prevent sogginess. Let the crumble cool for 15 minutes after baking to set the juices.
