Buttery Apple Crumble Recipe ๐๐ฅง
Description: This Buttery Apple Crumble is a delightful twist on the classic Apple Crisp, reminiscent of the one my mother used to make. It’s wonderfully moist and pairs perfectly with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The key to its success lies in choosing the right apple varieties that hold their shape beautifully when baked, such as Braeburn, Jonathan, or Northern Spy.
