Equipment Needed

1. Baking Dish: You’ll need a baking dish, typically a 9×9-inch square dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish, to assemble and bake your apple crumble.
2. Peeler: A vegetable peeler will make it easy to peel the apples, though this is optional as you can also leave the peel on for added texture and flavor.
3. Knife and Cutting Board: You’ll need a sharp knife and a cutting board to slice the apples. A paring knife works well for coring them.
4. Mixing Bowls: Have a few mixing bowls on hand for tossing the apple slices with sugar and spices and for preparing the crumble topping.
5. Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are important in baking. Use measuring cups and spoons for both dry and wet ingredients.
6. Oven: Of course, you’ll need an oven to bake your apple crumble. Ensure it’s preheated to the correct temperature as per the recipe.
7. Spatula or Spoon: Use a spatula or a large spoon to transfer the apple mixture and the crumble topping into the baking dish.
8. Lemon Squeezer: If you choose to add lemon juice to your apple filling, a lemon squeezer can be handy for juicing the lemon.
9. Ice Cream Scoop or Whipped Cream Dispenser: If you plan to serve your baked apple crumble with ice cream or whipped cream, having an ice cream scoop or whipped cream dispenser can make the presentation easier.
10. Oven Mitts: To safely handle the hot baking dish when removing it from the oven, oven mitts or pot holders are essential.
