Fragrant Apple Filling

Apples are certainly the crucial ingredients. You can use cooking apples (or apples for cooking), yet in reality, any kind will be OK as long as you are OK with either a mushier or chunkier apple filling. Additionally, if you pick tart apple, you might need to add even more sugar to stabilize the slightly sour flavor. But when I use sweet apples, I often totally leave out the sugar in the apple combination.

Nevertheless, cinnamon for me is an essential ingredient in the apple part of the crumble. One tsp ground cinnamon ensures the dessert (as well as your entire home!) will smell lovely. You can also add some cloves to your apple pudding for some extra flavor.

Crumb Topping Ingredients

The crumble topping requires only three basic elements: sugar, flour and also butter. Yet absolutely nothing is preventing you from being creative or even adventures with them. So you could use any kind of sugar you like or at the moment have at house, including brown sugar, coconut sugar or granulated sugar.

Different recipes call for fat elements in different forms. So you can make use of either chilled butter or melted butter. Although I enjoy a highly flavored, buttery crumble, when I make it for vegans, I exchange butter with coconut oil. The structure will be a bit different but the crumb topping will certainly be still scrumptious.

When it comes to the second from the dry elements - flour, there are also many different alternatives. In the Apple Crumble dish below, apart from all-purpose flour, I also use almond meal (this is my secret component!). But you might also include some oats or other ground or sliced nuts. Additionally, if you are on a gluten-free diet, use a gluten-free flour mix in place of regular flour.

Delicious Crumb Topping

My love for crumbles dates back to my childhood years. My Grandmother usually baked yeast cakes with seasonal fruit as well as crumble on top. I used to pinch the largest pieces of crumble when the cake came out from the stove. I need to admit that I additionally used to do it even prior to the cake was baked! And "the biggest piece of crumble" is a vital expression here. When I prepare my crumbly mixture, I ensure I have coarse crumbs. So if after preparing it, I don't find myself with the desired size, I simply by hand stick together smaller sized pieces of the crumb combination.

The Way to Serve Apple Crumble

Having Apple Crumble without any extras is pretty much a wonderful experience. Nonetheless, if you don't have to worry about calories, have it with fresh cream (heavy is optimal ;)), custard or a scoop of vanilla gelato. Whichever way of serving you choose, I am sure this tasty crumble will please your sweet tooth. And I hope you will include it to your favored dishes :)
