The Method

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, lemon juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and melted ghee (or butter). Toss to coat evenly. Transfer the apple mixture to a 9-inch baking dish.
3
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and salt.
4
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5
Stir in the almonds.
6
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture.
7
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
8
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or yogurt.

Chef's Tips

For a more intense cardamom flavor, use freshly ground cardamom pods.

You can substitute the almonds with other nuts like pistachios or cashews for a different flavor profile.

If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the baking dish loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the topping.

A dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the warm crumble perfectly.
