Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

    Serve this Best Apple Crumble with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • tip 2
    Use fresh peaches for the apples for a juicy peach crumble.
  • tip 3
    Taste apples for sweetness before adding brown sugar and adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
  • tip 4
