Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl stir together melted butter and flour until smooth. Add wet ingredients and stir. Add dry ingredients and stir.
Pour butter mixture over apples and toss to coat. Pour apple mixture into a 9×13″ baking dish; spread evenly. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown and top is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel sauce, if desired.
