Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
For the Crumble Topping
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Rolled Oats
- 2 tbsp Desiccated Coconut
- 2 tbsp Nuts cashews and walnuts, chopped, mixed
- 3 tbsp Butter chilled
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 4 tbsp Sugar powdered
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Make the apple filling: In a saucepan, combine the chopped apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the apples are softened.
- Transfer the softened apple mixture to an oven-safe dish and spread evenly.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, desiccated coconut, chopped nuts, chilled butter, cinnamon, and powdered sugar.
- Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates a lovely texture in the final crumble.
- Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C), then reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, custard, or a dollop of cream.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can use oat flour instead of plain flour.
- Some berries can be added to the saucepan along with the apples.
- For extra texture and flavor, add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping before baking.
- If you prefer your apples to hold their shape, use firmer varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn; for a softer, saucier filling, try using Gala or Fuji apples.
- Sprinkle a little demerara sugar on top of the crumble before baking to create a caramelized, crunchy finish.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spices in the crumble to your liking. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom all work well with apples.
- Don't overmix the crumble topping. A few lumps and bumps will ensure a tender, crumbly texture.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent treat.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover crumble can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes to restore the topping’s crispness; avoid microwaving as it tends to make the topping soggy.
