Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted.
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large or 3 medium lemons
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment.
Mix melted butter, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and stir to combine. Add oats and flour, and stir well. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for topping.
Transfer the remaining crumble mixture into the baking pan. Pat into an even layer. Bake until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the lemon filling.
Wipe out the crumble bowl (no need to wash). Grate the zest of the lemons into the bowl. Juice the zested lemons until you have 1/2 cup, then add to the bowl. Add the condensed milk and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the filling over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the filling. Return to the oven and bake until the edges are lightly browned and set, 22 to 24 minutes
