Ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients on a counter top.
  • Apples - You'll need about 2 ½ pounds of fresh apples, or about 5 medium sized apples.
  • Raspberries - Can be substituted with other berries if desired - strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries are all great alternatives.
  • Brown sugar - sweetens your filling and crumble topping. If your raspberries are very tart, consider adding an extra ¼ cup to your filling.
  • All-purpose flour - Flour thickens your filling and adds structure to your crumble topping.
  • Vanilla extract - Adds depth of flavor to your filling.
  • Cinnamon - Adds depth of flavor to your filling and crumble topping. Can be substituted with apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice blends.
  • Unsalted butter - Can be substituted with salted butter if desired.

How to make apple raspberry crumble

Assembling an apple crumble in a glass pan.
  1. Add apples and raspberries to a large bowl along with remaining filling ingredients. Toss until coated. Spread into a 7x11 baking dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, add crumble ingredients and stir until large clumps form.
  3. Spread crumble mixture over filling.
  4. Bake until apples are fork tender and crumble is browned across the top.

Tips and tricks

Optional additions: Want to add some crunch? Try mixing in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into your crumble topping.

Adjusting the sweetness: Do a taste test of your raspberries. Are they very tart? You may want to add an extra ¼ cup of sugar to your filling to balance the tart with some sweet.

Prefer a tart dessert?: Consider reducing the filling's sugar by ¼ cup. With your sugar reduced, that tart flavor will really shine. If your crumble turns out tart and you'd like to balance the flavor, try pairing it with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream.

Too sweet?: Did your crumble turn out too sweet? Try pairing it with a dollop of unsweetened homemade whipped cream. This will help balance the flavor.

Storage

Have leftover crumble? Cover your casserole dish with foil (or a lid) and store at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Your crumble topping may lose its crunchy texture, but will taste just as good the next day. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or served at room temperature.

Frequently asked questions

What apples are best for crumble?

Granny smith apples are my go-to for baked desserts. They're widely available year round and hold their shape well in baked goods. However, granny smith apples can be a little tart, especially when paired with tart blackberries.
Honeycrisp is a great option if you'd like a sweeter crumble. You can also try using a combination of honeycrisp and granny smith for a balance of sweet and tart.
Golden delicious apples fall somewhere in the middle of sweet and tart, but will break down easily when baked. Don't reach for these if you'd like firm apple chunks in your crumble.

Should crumble be served warm?

Crumbles and crisps can be served warm or at room temperature. I highly recommend allowing your crumble to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken and casserole to cool.

How do you serve crumble?

Spoon a serving of apple raspberry crumble into a bowl and serve as is, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Ice cream is the perfect addition during those hot summer months!

Filling

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Lightly grease a 7x11 (or other 2 quart) baking dish and set aside.

Notes

  • Pan size: Any 2 quart dish can be used - 11x7, 8x8, or 9x9 pans will all work.
  • Sweet or tart crumble: Crumble turn out tart? Try pairing with sweet vanilla ice cream. Crumble turn out sweet? Pair with whipped cream.
  • Tart berries: Taste test your raspberries before adding to your filling. If they're very tart, you may want to add an additional ¼ cup of sugar to balance the tartness and make a sweeter crumble.

    This is absolutely delicious. I doubled the recipe and I’m so glad. I also added some quick oats to the topping but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It took me right back to Mississippi as a child devouring my Memamaw’s crumbles and cobblers. Thanks for this recipe. I can’t wait to make it again.

    Excellent. I had fresh raspberries out of the garden & frozen crab apples sliced from last summer. I also added 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Mmmm good. Thank you.
