It’s day 4 of Thanksgiving week on the blog and so far this week I’ve shared recipes for Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, Salted Caramel Pecan Baked Brie and Oven Roasted Turkey with Maple Apple Reduction.
Today, I’m excited to share my new twist on an Apple Crumble. It’s so simple, but really takes this dessert from delicious, to absolute fall perfection! The new twist? Adding pumpkin spice to the crumble!
Pumpkin spice does not actually contain pumpkin, it’s simply the spices combined to make a pumpkin spice mix, which includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice.
It’s easy to make a mason jar of homemade pumpkin pie spice and keep it on hand for delicious recipes like this apple crumble!
How to make it
Add sliced apples to a baking dish. Combine melted butter and pumpkin pie spice and pour it over the apples. Combine brown sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice and cold butter to form a crumble and sprinkle it over the apples.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Let the crumble cool for 10 minutes before serving.
To make this dish over-the-top delicious, drizzle some salted caramel on top after it comes out of the oven! You can make Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce or purchase pre-made salted caramel sauce in a bottle. And to take it to a whole other level, scoop some vanilla ice cream on top!
Take it from a crumble to a crisp
Want to turn this delicious pumpkin apple crumble into a crisp with the addition of oats? Simply add 1 cup oats, an additional ½ cup flour, and an additional 4 tablespoons cold butter to the topping mixture. Combine and sprinkle on top, just like the crumble!
Storage and reheating
If you want to cook the apple crumble beforehand and reheat when ready to eat, simply transfer the cooked crumble from the refrigerator to a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
Store any leftover crumble in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat individual servings of the crumble in the microwave.

Pumpkin Spice Apple Crumble
Ingredients

- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup flour
- 4 tablespoons cold butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Notes
- For the apples, I recommend granny smith apples for this recipe. They’re the best apples for baking due to their firm texture. You could also use pink lady, honeycrisp, fuji, golden delicious, or braeburn apples.
- Making this apple crumble gluten free is so easy. Simply swap the flour for a one-to-one gluten-free flour substitute, like Bob’s Red Mill.
