Cooking Tips

• Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best flavor and texture.
• Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the oat mixture for extra crunch.
• If you prefer a sweeter crumble, you can increase the amount of sugar in the apple mixture or sprinkle some additional sugar on top before baking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, simply place the crumble in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
• This Apple Oat & Chocolate Crumble is best served warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
