Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
About 1 min

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
