How to make Sweet Potato & Apple Breakfast Crumble with Oat Topping

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar sized oval dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the fruit filling: In a large bowl, combine the 2 medium diced sweet potatoes and 2 medium diced Granny Smith apples. Add 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
3. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
4. Prepare the oat crumble topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly.
5. Add the 6 tablespoons of cold, cut unsalted butter to the dry crumble mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, work the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form and no large pieces of butter remain.
6. Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the fruit layer in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is mostly covered.
7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the fruit is tender when pierced with a fork and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
8. Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the fruit filling to set slightly.
9. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with a bit of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
