Ingredients

8

As written: One 9x13-inch dish.

Apples

Crumble

Kosher salt means Diamond Crystal. With Morton kosher salt, use about half.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and salt and spread in a 9x13-inch dish.

  2. Stir together the oats, oat flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the coconut oil until it forms clumps. Scatter over the apples.

  3. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, then rest 15 minutes.

    Look forJuice bubbles thickly at the edges and a knife slides into the apples easily. Tent with foil if the top browns before the apples are soft.

Make ahead

Bake up to 2 days ahead and chill. Reheat 15 minutes at 350°F to re-crisp the top.

Holding

Warm or at room temperature through a session.

Allergens

Contains check oats are labeled gluten-free if needed. Always check labels on packaged ingredients.

Notes

Oats are often grown and milled alongside wheat. For a gluten-free table, buy oats and oat flour labeled gluten-free.

No oat flour? Pulse ½ cup rolled oats in a blender, or use all-purpose flour (which adds wheat).

Tavern Night

This dish's twist table (d6)

1–2The classic stands. No twist. Cook it as written.
3Herb swap. A pinch of ground ginger or cardamom in the crumble
4Acid strike. Use half cranberries in the fruit
5Plating challenge. Bake in mugs or ramekins, one per player
6Host's boon. The Host picks any twist above, or the table invents one. The safety rule still applies.

Roll before you start cooking. No twist ever changes a time, a temperature or how done something must be.
