Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Core and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges.

  2. 2

    Mix Whiskey Glaze

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with whiskey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until apples are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Place the whiskey-glazed apples in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading them evenly.

Crumble Topping Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans.

  2. 5

    Incorporate Butter

    Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into the dry mixture. Mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture is crumbly and resembles wet sand.

  3. 6

    Top the Apples

    Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the whiskey-glazed apples in the baking dish.

Baking and Serving

  1. 7

    Bake the Crumble

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

  2. 8

    Serve It Up

    Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce.
