How to make Traeger Fireball Apple Crumble

First add a cup of Fireball and brown sugar, plus a little nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon juice, and a pinch of kosher salt to a large pot.

Bring it to a boil and then add in 5 chopped apples, I used Honeycrisp and left the skin on.

Let this simmer over medium low heat for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring a few times.

Then mix 1/4 cup more Fireball with a teaspoon of cornstarch.

Add this to the apples and simmer for another two minutes so it thickens.

The crumble topping is super easy!

Just a boxed mix of spice cake and a stick of melted butter mixed together.

Pour the apples into a 9×13 casserole dish and crumble the topping evenly over top.
