Apple crumble

Cooking: 30 minutes

Preparing apple crumble. Crumble is a juicy, rich apple inside under a tender and crispy shortbread crumb. The pie can easily be classified as lazy and hasty, because even a beginner can handle its making. But the result of your efforts can amuse the most fastidious gourmet.

Crumble dough

Crumble dough is a butter-flour crumb that is prepared using butter, sugar and flour. In my opinion, this is one of the most common methods of preparing shortcrust pastry, and even here it is important to follow a few simple rules.

Our goal is to ensure that every grain of butter is covered with dry ingredients. This result can be obtained if you work with chilled products without allowing the butter to melt and absorb flour and sugar. Here are a few rules that will help you succeed in this simple task:

The oil must be cooled in advance. It is best to cut the butter into small cubes and then put it in the refrigerator.
The bowl in which you will knead the dough and the spatula is also best placed in the refrigerator.
If possible, it is best to knead the dough in a food processor or using a fork, spatula or other available tools. If you still need to rub the dough with your hands, for example, the butter is very frozen, then it is better to minimize such interactions. With prolonged contact with the warmth of your hands, the butter will begin to melt.
Knead the dough in cold conditions. If the room is very hot, then the dough must be kneaded very quickly. If you see that the butter is melting and the dough is not ready yet, put the dough in the refrigerator for some time.

The indisputable advantage of sand crumbs is that they can be prepared for future use. Make several portions of dough at a time and place it in the freezer until needed.

Apple insides for crumble

To make crumble, you can use caramelized or fresh apples.

In the current recipe, I have slightly complicated the filling; it consists of grated and chopped apples - the first forms apple puree, and the second separate apple cubes. You can simply cut all the apples into cubes and caramelize them.

Crumble with the freshest apples is no worse in taste. This method is simpler, however, you cannot completely control the final taste of the inside, as is the case with caramelized apples, but the inside of the pie itself will be a little juicier. You need to peel and cut the apples using a method that suits you. Add sugar and cinnamon to taste, as well as a spoonful of flour or starch, this is necessary in order to slightly thicken the finished filling. Mix everything well and spread in an even layer on the bottom of the mold.

Crumble is a beautiful opportunity for bold gut testing. You can use almost any berries and fruits, the main thing is to lightly caramelize them. How about crumble with meat or vegetables? Or maybe mushrooms or cheese? Experiment and please your loved ones.

Top the hot crumble with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy the play of flavors, different textures and an extraordinary combination of hot and cool. Let the dessert cool and you will get a juicy filling, a tender layer of dough and a crispy crust on top.

Apple crumble recipe:

Making caramel from butter and sugar

Caramelize peeled and chopped apples in it and add lemon juice and cinnamon at the end

From chopped nuts, flour, sugar and butter we prepare a crumble (crumb, butter)

Place apples in one large or several small baking dishes and sprinkle with crumble.

Brown in the oven.

For the inside, you can take any fruits and berries in various combinations.
You can bathe them in caramel, or you don’t have to, the hard ones should be kept in it longer.
Simply sprinkle soft plums, peaches, nectarines with little sugar.
It would be great to slightly boil dried fruits in a small amount of water beforehand.

In the mash, you can replace a third of the flour with rolled oats, add lemon, orange zest or grated chocolate.

Or you can simply crumble almond cookies or dried snow-white bread, mixing it with butter and a little sugar.

You can flavor both the filling and the dressing, or even all together. Use cardamom, vanilla, cinnamon, anise, you can add a small pinch of pepper, you can splash in a thimble of rum or cognac. Or liquor.

This is a traditional homemade dessert, playful and light - even preschoolers can handle it.
Winter holidays are the best time to do some kitchen testing together if you're stuck at home.

Invite your friends, give each one a mold, and let everyone assemble the filling to their liking.
Or mix everything in one large one and brew more strong tea.

girls, there are so many positive reviews, but who cooked it?
))) I’m sitting and eating, yes!
everything worked out, but: the caramel rolled into a lump, in the end a delicious candy came out.
It was not clear in the description that we put apples first, and crumbs on top, because sometimes they put crumbs in the base
. 4 apples are not enough for 4 molds - 14 cm in diameter and 3 cm height
Most people can cook, but they can write correctly, no, that’s what’s offensive.
You buy a magazine, a book, cook, try, but it doesn’t work out for you, just because it’s written poorly, and your hands grow from there))))
High quality creators are worth their weight in gold.

I often take recipes from the POVARENOK website, because you can read reviews.
But the main thing is that I write a review if it doesn’t work out, I’m not lazy)))
Eat it when it’s cold!))
