healthy apple crumble

Fragrant Apple Filling

Apples are obviously the key elements. You can make use of cooking apples (or apples for baking), however in reality, any type will certainly be OK as long as you are fine with either a mushier or chunkier apple filling. Also, if you choose tart apple, you may require to add more sugar to stabilize the tart taste. But when I add sweet apples, I in some cases totally omit the sugar in the apple mixture.

Nevertheless, cinnamon for me is a needed ingredient in the apple part of the crumble. One tsp ground cinnamon ensures the treat (along with your entire house!) will certainly scent gorgeous. You can also add some cloves to your apple treat for some extra flavor.

Crumb Topping Ingredients

The crumble topping needs just three basic components: sugar, flour and butter. Yet absolutely nothing is stopping you from being imaginative and even adventures with them. So you can make use of any type of sugar you prefer or at the moment have at house, including brown sugar, coconut sugar or granulated sugar.

Different recipes require fat components in various types. So you might make use of either chilled butter or melted butter. Although I like a rich, buttery crumble, when I make it for vegans, I exchange butter with coconut oil. The texture will be a bit different but the crumb topping will be still delicious.

When it comes to the second from the dry ingredients - flour, there are additionally many different options. In the Apple Crumble dish below, besides all-purpose flour, I additionally use almond meal (this is my secret component!). However you could additionally add some oats or various other ground or chopped nuts. Alternatively, if you are on a gluten-free diet plan, make use of a gluten-free flour mixture instead of plain flour.

Delicious Crumb Topping

My love for crumbles goes back to my childhood years. My Granny frequently baked yeast cakes with seasonal fruit and crumble . I used to steal the largest pieces of crumble when the cake was taken out from the stove. I must confess that I also used to do it even before the cake was baked! And also "the biggest piece of crumble" is a crucial phrase right here. When I prepare my crumbly mix, I ensure I have coarse crumbs. So if after preparing it, I don't end up with the desired size, I just by hand put together smaller sized pieces of the crumb mixture.

How to Serve Apple Crumble

Having Apple Crumble without any additions is already a terrific experience. However, if you do not count calories, have it with fresh cream (double is the very best ;)), custard or a portion of vanilla ice cream. Whichever method of serving you choose, I am sure this scrumptious crumble will certainly please your craving for sweets. I also hope you are going to include it to your favored recipes :)
