SKILLET BERRY AND BROWN BUTTER TOAST CRUMBLE



Skillet Berry and Brown Butter Toast Crumble image

This is a great way to use up all the bits: a bag of frozen berries, those oats in the back of your pantry, some bread that may be past its prime. Feel free to reach for whatever frozen berries you might have on hand, and cinnamon, cardamom or any other sweet spice in place of the star anise. You could serve this with Greek yogurt instead of the cream or, if you'd like, some homemade or store-bought custard. Serve this as a brunch dish or as a late afternoon treat.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds/680 grams Braeburn or Gala apples (3 or 4), each peeled, cored and cut into 6 wedges
1 cup/100 grams superfine/caster sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon/130 grams unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground star anise or cinnamon
4 ounces/115 grams stale, crustless sourdough, roughly torn into 1/2-inch/1-centimeter pieces (about 2 cups)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/100 grams rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1 pound/450 grams frozen mixed berries
2/3 cup/160 milliliters heavy cream (double cream), chilled

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celsius.
  • Add the apples, half the sugar, 2 tablespoons/30 grams butter, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon star anise to a large, ovenproof skillet, and stir to combine. Transfer to the oven to bake about 20 minutes, stirring halfway, until the apples have softened but still retain their shape.
  • While the apples are baking, add the remaining 7 tablespoons/100 grams butter to a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, cook for about 4 minutes, swirling the pan often, until nicely browned and nutty, adjusting the temperature as needed to avoid burning. Transfer the browned butter to a large heatproof bowl and return the pan to the heat. Add the torn sourdough and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes, until lightly toasted, then add to the bowl with the butter. Return the pan to the heat and add the oats and cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted, another 2 minutes. Add the oats to the bowl, along with the salt, remaining sugar and star anise, and stir to combine.
  • When the apples are ready, stir in the frozen berries plus 2 tablespoons water, then top evenly with the bread mixture. Return to the oven, turning the heat down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/185 degrees Celsius, and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Leave to cool and settle for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the cold cream and remaining 3/4 teaspoon vanilla to a small bowl and stir to combine. Serve the crumble warm, with the cold cream to drizzle on top.

SKILLET CARAMEL-APPLE CRISP



Skillet Caramel-Apple Crisp image

The caramel sauce does double duty in this warm, comforting crisp. First, it lends sweetness to the apple filling, and second, it yields a lot of leftovers to serve alongside. Use firm, tart apples like Mutsu, Jonathan or Honeycrisp, which will hold their shape during baking. Room-temperature apples work best here: If your apples are cold from the refrigerator, the caramel sauce may seize a bit. Save any extra caramel sauce in your fridge for a rainy day - that is, of course, if you haven't eaten it all.

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), diced
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 pounds/1,360 grams tart, firm apples, such as Mutsu, Jonathan or Honeycrisp (about 6 medium apples)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/90 grams old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup/40 grams chopped pecans (optional)
1/3 cup/75 grams light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), softened

Steps:

  • Make the caramel sauce: Add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water to a 3-quart saucepan and stir to combine. Add the butter and set it over medium-high heat, but do not stir. Cook, without stirring, until the butter and sugar have completely melted and started to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • After the mixture has begun to brown at the edges, use a heatproof spatula to carefully stir it occasionally until it is deep golden brown and beginning to smoke just slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not walk away from the pan during this process as the caramel will go from perfectly golden to burned in moments.
  • When the mixture is deep golden, remove the pan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will expand and sputter before turning into a smooth sauce. Add the vanilla and salt. If the caramel is at all lumpy, return the pan to the stove on low heat and whisk until smooth. You should have about 2 cups. Carefully pour the caramel into a heat-safe container to cool.
  • Prepare the filling: Heat your oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2-inch slices, removing any bruised bits if necessary. Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, spices and salt in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel sauce over the top and stir again. Scrape the apples and all of their juices into a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
  • Make the topping: In the same bowl, combine the flour, oats, pecans, sugar and salt. Stir until well combined, then add the butter and mash it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until crumbs form. Pour the crumb topping evenly over the apples. Bake the crisp until the topping is golden and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with more warm caramel sauce and ice cream. Store any remaining sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. It can be rewarmed for later use in a saucepan over low heat.

BERRY-APPLE SKILLET CRUMBLE



Berry-Apple Skillet Crumble image

Categories     Berry     Dessert     Frozen Dessert     Apple

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large crisp, sweet apples
2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries or cranberries, completely thawed
2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup muesli or granola
1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar
Vanilla frozen nondairy dessert, optional

Steps:

  • Peel the apples and cut into fairly thin (about 1/4-inch) slices
  • Heat the margarine in a medium skillet. Add the apples. Sauté, stirring frequently, until they have softened but still hold their shape, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the berries, maple syrup to taste, and cinnamon, and cook until the berries have started to burst and the apples are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  • In a small container, combine the cornstarch with just enough cold water to dissolve smoothly. Stir it into the skillet. Cook briefly, just until the liquid in the skillet is thickened, then remove from the heat.
  • Heat a smaller skillet. Add the muesli and sugar and toast over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture turns a shade darker and smells nutty, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the fruit.
  • Allow the crumble to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then serve in small bowls. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of frozen dessert.
