Peel and slice 12 to 13 small apples using a knife.

Core the apples and slice them into pieces about 1/4 inch thick.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chai spice concentrate, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt.

Pour the apple mixture into the baking pan and mix to ensure even distribution.

In another bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups rolled oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 tablespoon chai spice mix.

Add half a cup of coconut oil or cubed butter to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.

Use a fork to combine the topping ingredients, then switch to hands if necessary to achieve a sandy, crumbly consistency.

Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking pan.

Place the baking pan on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let the crumble cool for 10 minutes before serving.
