Next Level Apple Crumble Recipes

NEXT LEVEL APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• For the topping, add all the ingredients - other than the optional extras - to a food processor with a small pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs, but do not overwork (this can also be done by hand). Now toss through the optional topping ingredients, if using, then tip into a container, cover and freeze for at least 1 hr or until needed. Can be made up to one week ahead. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. If you want a dark, crumbly topping, tip the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins until golden. Leave to cool and re-crumble, then set aside (keep the oven on).
• For the apples, add the butter, sugar, apple juice, cinnamon and bay to a saucepan. Boil vigorously until you have a sputtering, buttery caramel. Remove the bay and cinnamon, then throw in half the Bramley apples. Cook down to a purée, then remove from the heat and stir through the rest of the Bramley apple chunks until coated. Transfer to a baking dish.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (if you part-baked your topping in step 1, it should already be at this temperature). Arrange the sliced Cox's apple over the cooked apples in an even layer. Sprinkle your choice of crumble mixture loosely and roughly over the top, then bake for 30-40 mins until the crumble has browned and the filling is bubbling at the sides (30 mins if you part-baked the crumble, but keep an eye on it). Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving. While the crumble is baking, make the optional sugar and spice blend by mixing all the ingredients with a small pinch of salt. Serve on the side to sprinkle over.

APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch slices. Place apples in a large mixing bowl and toss with sugar, lemon juice, flour, and cinnamon. Pour into a lightly greased 9 by 13-inch baking dish, and spread out into an even layer. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, mix together the nuts, flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently work in the cold butter until pea-sized lumps are formed.
• Top apples evenly with mixture and bake until apples are bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes, rotating once halfway through cooking.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.

BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spary or grease with butter.
• To make the crumble, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and sugars together in a large mixing bowl.
• Using a cheese grater, grate in the frozen butter. (you could cut the butter in with a pastry cutter, if you prefer) Gently toss the butter into the flour mixture until coated.
• Using a fork, stir in vanilla and egg yolks until egg is mostly absorbed. Add vinegar and give the mixture another stir. Use your hands to finish incorporating all of the ingredients. Mixture should clump, but remain mostly dry. If your mixture is not clumping, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Set crumble aside.
• To make the fruit filling, combine blackberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a separate medium mixing bowl.
• Transfer about 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the bottom of baking dish. Press mixture down using a flat measuring cup or damp hands. Pour the berry mixture over the crust. Add the remaining crumble mixture on top. Some small clumps are best!
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes and until top is golden brown and blackberry juice is bubbling. Allow the crumble to cool for about 20-30 minutes. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
