1/4 cup olive or canola oil
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted cold butter, melted
8 tablespoons light brown sugar

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 firm, slightly tart apples such as McIntosh or Granny Smith
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Calvados or applejack
4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Peel the apples, and cut them into 12 slices, making sure to remove the cores and stems. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet, and add the apple slices and the lemon peel. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and cook over medium-high heat, gently stirring the apples and shaking the skillet so that they cook evenly. When the apples start to brown, add the Calvados. Turn up the heat, and tilt the pan. Then ignite the sauce with a long match. (The alcohol will burn off quickly.) Blend well.
  • Put a scoop of ice cream into each of four individual serving dishes. Pour the apples on top and serve.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups half and half
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3/4 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
3 tablespoons Calvados (apple brandy)

Steps:

  • Pour half and half into heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer. Whisk sugar, yolks and corn syrup in medium heatproof bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot half and half mixture. Return to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Strain into bowl. Mix in crème fraîche and Calvados. Chill until cold. Transfer to ice cream maker; process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to covered container; freeze. (Can be made 3 days ahead.)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your crumble a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overwork the crumble topping. You want it to be crumbly, not doughy. Just use your fingers to work the butter into the flour and oats until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of Calvados and crème fraîche ice cream. This is the perfect way to enjoy this classic dessert.

Apple crumble is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy apples, crunchy oat topping, and creamy Calvados and crème fraîche ice cream, this dessert is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
