Apple Crumble is a quick and simple dessert, perfect for enjoying the flavors of autumn. This apple cake, with a crunchy crumble topping, combined with the natural sweetness of apples, will bring a smile to anyone's face. Let's discover together how to prepare this delight step by step!
Ingredients:
- 4-5 large apples (preferably varieties like Granny Smith or Golden Delicious for a contrast of tartness and sweetness)
- 100 g sugar (you can adjust the amount depending on how sweet your apples are)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (to add a warm and aromatic note)
- 200 g flour
- 100 g cold butter (cut into cubes, to achieve a perfect crumble)
- 100 g brown sugar (for a deeper flavor and beautiful color)
- 100 g oats (optional, to add texture)
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the apples: Start by washing the apples well, then peel them and cut them into cubes or thin slices. Place them in a large bowl and add 50 g of sugar and cinnamon. Mix well to combine the flavors. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release some of their juice.
2. Preparing the crumble: In another bowl, combine the flour with the brown sugar and cold butter. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients until you get a mixture that resembles crumbs. If you want a more substantial crumble, you can add the oats and mix again. This step is essential for achieving a crunchy texture.
3. Assembling the cake: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a baking dish (approximately 20x30 cm), evenly arrange the prepared apples on the bottom. Cover them evenly with the crumble mixture, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
4. Baking: Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and crispy, and the apples are tender. The aroma that will fill your kitchen during baking will be irresistible!
5. Serving: Allow the Apple Crumble to cool slightly before serving. It is delicious both warm and at room temperature. You can add vanilla ice cream or a splash of cream for an extra creaminess.
Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of apples or combinations of fruits, such as pears or blueberries, to create a personalized version of this recipe.
- If you want an even more intense flavor, add some nuts or almonds to the crumble mixture.
- Apple Crumble can be stored in the fridge for a few days, but it is best served fresh.
This Apple Crumble recipe is a true delight for all lovers of quick and delicious desserts. I invite you to try it and delight your loved ones with this simple yet flavorful dessert!
The apples are cleaned, the core is removed, and they are cut into cubes. The sugar, apples, and cinnamon are placed in a pan and left covered on low heat to sauté gently. They are left for about half an hour, stirring occasionally. When they are ready, they should be soft but not pureed. They are cooled by placing them in a dish suitable for the oven, and the dough is made. The flour, vanilla, remaining sugar, and butter are mixed by hand until a crumbly texture is achieved. The oven is preheated to 150 degrees Celsius. The dough is placed over the apples and baked for 30 minutes until golden brown and beautifully colored. It can be served with vanilla cream or ice cream... it’s wonderful!
