Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3. Press two-thirds of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- 4. Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
- 5. Meanwhile, toss the sliced apples with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- 6. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the baked crust and sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top.
- 7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and apples are tender.
- 8. Cool completely in the pan, then slice into squares.
