Why You'll Want This Again

This dessert combines the warm sweetness of baked apples with the unique nutty flavor of halva. The crunchy crumble topping adds a delightful texture contrast. It’s a comforting treat that feels both familiar and special.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish. In a bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until everything is well coated. Spread the fruit mixture evenly in your prepared dish.

Step 2

Combine the halva, oats, flour, and a pinch of salt, mixing until you get a crumbly texture. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples. To keep the topping from browning too fast, cover the dish loosely with foil.

Step 3

Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until you see the fruit bubbling and the topping is nicely browned. Once it’s out, let it cool a bit—this helps the crumble set up and gives you the best texture.
