Questions

Can I make Apple Crumble dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Apple Crumble gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works); the oats for certified gluten-free oats. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Apple Crumble keep?

Store it airtight: two to three days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated. It freezes for up to two months; thaw at room temperature.

Can I halve or double Apple Crumble?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
