Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8 or 9-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients together, then add melted unsalted butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a large bowl, add the sliced Granny Smith apples, granulated or brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Toss the mixture gently until well-coated.
  4. Spread the apple filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples to cover completely.
  5. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and edges are bubbling.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.
