Make the Apple Filling

Prepare the Crumble Topping

1. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, and chopped walnuts. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the cold butter to the crumble topping mixture and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. In a 9-inch pie dish, arrange the apple filling in an even layer.
3. Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Serve Warm
