simple apple crumble recipe

Fragrant Apple Filling

Apples are certainly the key ingredients. You can use cooking apples (or apples for baking), but actually, any kind will be OK as long as you are fine with either a mushier or chunkier apple part. Also, if you choose tart apple, you might need to add more sugar to stabilize the tangy flavor. Yet when I add sweet apples, I occasionally completely omit the sugar in the apple mixture.

However, cinnamon for me is a required ingredient in the apple part of the crumble. One teaspoon ground cinnamon makes sure the treat (as well as your whole home!) will scent beautiful. You can additionally include some cloves to your apple treat for some additional taste.

Crumb Topping Components

The crumble topping needs only three simple components: sugar, flour and butter. But nothing is stopping you from being imaginative and even daring with them. So you could make use of any sugar you enjoy or presently have at house, including brown sugar, coconut sugar or granulated sugar.

Different recipes ask for fat ingredients in various types. So you could use either cold butter or melted butter. Although I like a luscious, buttery crumble, when I make it for people on a plant-based diet, I replace butter with coconut oil. The structure will be a bit different however the crumb topping will be still scrumptious.

When it comes to the second from the dry elements - flour, there are also many different options. In the Apple Crumble recipe listed below, apart from all-purpose flour, I additionally make use of almond meal (this is my secret component!). Yet you can additionally add some oats or various other ground or chopped nuts. Additionally, if you prefer a gluten-free diet plan, use a gluten-free flour mixture instead of ordinary flour.

Delicious Crumb Topping

My love for crumbles goes back to my childhood years. My Granny usually baked yeast cakes with seasonal fruit and also crumble on top. I used to take the largest pieces of crumble when the cake came out from the stove. I need to confess that I additionally used to do it even prior to the cake was baked! As well as "the chunkiest piece of crumble" is a vital phrase here. When I prepare my crumbly mixture, I make sure I have coarse crumbs. So if after processing, I don't find myself with the desired sizing, I simply manually stick together smaller sized pieces of the crumb mix.

How to Enjoy Apple Crumble

Having Apple Crumble without any extras is already a wonderful experience. However, if you do not count calories, have it with fresh cream (double is the very best ;)), custard or a portion of vanilla gelato. Whichever way of serving you select, I am positive this tasty crumble will satisfy your sweet tooth. And I am positive you are going to include it to your favored dishes :)
