Author Notes

Crumbles were one of my all time favorite desserts growing up, and that really hasn’t changed. There’s no better time to enjoy these than fall. With all of the delicious apple varieties in season, now’s the time! They’re also a great way of using up those apples that you might have accidentally dropped on the floor and bruised, or left in the fridge just a bit too long. —Lindsay Pleskot

I made this for a dinner I was invited to. I had to make 6 of them so I increased the qty of some of the ingredients. I toasted the pecans, added some of the scooped-out apple mixture, (seeds removed) some graham cracker crumbs and put the tops back after filling to create a clever, contained dessert. I used an apple corer and pushed it repeatedly into the apple but not near the bottom. Then I scooped the insides out with a spoon that did not bend.
