Equipment
- 9x9-inch baking pan
- 2 Mixing bowls
- Fork or pastry cutter
Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 4 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup dried figs chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Prepare the Fruit Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples and chopped figs with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping:
- In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Crumble:
- Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the crumble cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
