## Tips

- Golden Delicious apples are ideal for crumble due to their availability, balanced sweet-tart flavor, and ability to hold shape during baking.
- Honeycrisp apples are preferred if available, but they are seasonal and regional. Braeburn apples are a good substitute.
- Avoid Granny Smith apples as they turn to mush when baked.
- When peeling apples, try to get the peel off in one long piece.
- Cut apples into approximately 3/4-inch chunks. Cutting around the core is faster than using an apple corer.
- Do not add too much sugar to the apples; the goal is to taste the apples.
- Pre-baking the apples covered with foil reduces their volume, making space for the topping.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet under the baking pan to catch any overflowing juices.
- Weighing flour provides more consistent results than using a measuring cup.
- A brown sugar keeper (a piece of terracotta soaked in water) keeps brown sugar moist for a long time.
- Packing brown sugar firmly into the measuring cup and leveling it ensures an accurate measurement.
- Adding water to the topping mixture gives it an extra crisp texture.
