APPLE CRUMBLE, KING ARTHUR

From the King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion. A perfect base for vanilla ice cream. Even my pickiest daughter gave this five stars! A wonderful fall dessert. I used rum and really liked the taste it gave the crumble. The recipe said "16 servings" but not in my house! I changed it to 10 servings.

Time 2h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs granny smith apples (about 5 medium to large)
1 lb apples, McIntosh (about 2 large) or 1 lb apple, Cortland (about 2 large)
1/4 cup rum or 1/4 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons boiled cider (optional but good)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats, old fashioned
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons butter (one stick)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
  • Place them in a bowl with the remainder of the filling ingredients and stir vigorously to combine. In the process, the apple pieces will break into smaller bits; this is fine.
  • Spoon the apple mixture into a lightly greased 9x9 cake pan, or a ceramic pan of similar capacity and surface area.
  • TOPPING:.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the butter, cutting it in as you would when making piecrust.
  • Mix until crumbly; if you work it too much the mixture will clump together, so use a light touch but be thorough.
  • Sprinkle topping over the filling.
  • Bake the crumble for 1-1/2 hours or until it's hot and bubbly and a deep, golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it cool to lukewarm before serving.

You can't beat a traditional apple filling topped with crispy, buttery crumble - classic comfort food at its best

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

575g Bramley apple (3 medium apples), peeled, cored and sliced to 1cm thick
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
175g plain flour
110g golden caster sugar
110g cold butter
1 tbsp rolled oats
1 tbsp demerara sugar
double cream , clotted cream or custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.
  • Toss 575g peeled, cored and sliced Bramley apples with 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and put in a 23cm round baking dish at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through.
  • Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.
  • Slice in 110g cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface - rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor until sandy (don't over-process).
  • Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out.
  • Gently press the surface with the back of the fork so the crumble holds together and goes crisp, then lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish.
  • Sprinkle 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over evenly, if you wish.
  • Set on a baking tray and put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples feel very soft when you insert a small, sharp knife. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't over-mix the crumble topping: Over-mixing will make the topping tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling: This will ensure that the crumble is cooked through.
  • Serve the crumble warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make the crumble even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Apple crumble is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart apples, flaky crust, and crunchy topping, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give apple crumble a try.
