Variations & Tips

For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumb topping. You can also experiment with different types of apples for varied flavors and textures; Granny Smith apples add a tartness, while Honeycrisp apples offer a sweet and juicy bite. If you prefer a spicier flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the apple mixture.
