How To Make Apple Crumble

I've never been a huge fan of fruit cobblers. I'd rather have pie. But pie is so complicated to make that I sometimes wish that cobblers did it for me...that is until I discovered the crumble! I love crumbles because it's sort of like pie, but without all of the fuss. Plus, you get a yummy crispy and crumbly topping! This recipe combines two of my favorite fruits: Apples and Nectarines!

Apple Crumble with Nectarines and Cinnamon

2 Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 Nectarines, peeled and sliced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

For the Crumble:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinammon
1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced

Add all of the ingredients for the fruit in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes. Place in a 9 x 9 square inch pyrex baking dish. For the topping, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl of an electric mixer. Mix until butter is the size of peas. Squeeze the mixture with your hands to make large crumbles and sprinkle evenly over fruit. Bake for 50 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until top is nice and brown!
