💡 Chef's tip
Rub the cold butter into the flour and sugar with your fingertips until it looks like coarse crumbs, which gives the topping its signature craggy crunch.
Tossing the sliced apples with a spoon of flour or cornstarch thickens their juices as they bake so the filling is saucy rather than watery.
