Apple Cobbler With Crumb Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss apples with white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl to coat; pour into a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Mix brown sugar, oats, flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a separate bowl. Use a pastry cutter or 2 forks to mash cold butter into the oats mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; spread over the apples to the edges of the baking dish. Pat the topping gently until even.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and sides are bubbling, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Core, peel (or not) and slice apples.
• In a large bowl, stir together apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon.
• Put in a 9"x9" casserole dish and dot with 1/3 of the butter.
• Place granola in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to break it up.
• Place granola in a bowl and add the rest of the butter.
• Using a fork, push the butter into the crushed granola, working it through.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the apples.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake about 10 minutes longer or until the topping has browned.
• Let stand for approximately 10 minutes then serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For best results with this recipe, use apples that hold their shape when baking and aren't too tart.
• Do not use Macintosh apples (too soft) or Red Delicious (too bland).
• I prefer Cortlands or Empires.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees- if you have a convection oven, do NOT use the convection feature- the dessert will be dry and overcooked on top.
• Use the regular baking feature.
• This recipe isn't good for microwave use.
• Peel and core the apples, then cut them into eighths or into large cubes.
• Distribute the apples evenly into a medium-sized ungreased baking dish (I like the white Corning/Pyrex oval dishes) and sprinkle the white sugar and cinnamon over top.
• Distribute 1 tbsp of the margarine in dollops throughout the top of the apples (no need to try to stir it in).
• In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining margarine, the oats, brown sugar and flour using your hands or a pastry whisk until it forms a crumbly, dry-ish mixture.
• (Note: if you like lots of crumble topping, feel free to double the ingredient quantities for the toppping).
• Pour the mixture over top of the apples and spread it out evenly so that all the apples are covered and the edges and corners hidden.
• Pat the mixture down lightly so that it looks sort of like a crust.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crumb top has darkened to a golden brown colour.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Spoon out portions into large bowls and serve with ice cream, thick sweetened yoghurt or milk.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until easy to handle., Preheat oven to 450°. Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges., For filling, place apples in crust. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. , For topping, combine flour and sugar in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 50-60 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
• Mix flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl using a pastry blender or fork until crumbly; reserve 3/4 cup flour mixture to use as topping.
• Sprinkle a light layer of flour mix into the prepared baking dish; top with a layer of apples. Continue alternating layers of flour mixture with apples and ending with apples. Sprinkle top apple layer with the reserved 3/4 cup flour mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Make filling:
• In a heavy 5-quart kettle simmer filling ingredients with a pinch salt, covered, until apples are fully plumped, about 15 minutes. Uncover mixture and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and any excess liquid is evaporated or absorbed, about 1 hour. (Reduce heat as liquid is evaporated or absorbed and stir mixture frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching.) Discard cinnamon sticks. Filling may be made 2 days ahead and cooled before being chilled, covered.
• Make topping:
• Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces. In a food processor pulse butter, flour, and granulated sugar until crumbly. Transfer topping to a bowl and chill, covered, until ready to use.
• Make pastry dough when filling and topping are done:
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces. In cleaned food processor pulse together pastry dough ingredients and a pinch salt until mixture begins to gather together.
• Press dough evenly onto bottom and up side of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Line shell with foil and bake in middle of oven until shell is set, about 12 minutes. Gently remove foil (if foil sticks to shell, leave foil on and bake about 2 minutes more) and bake shell until edge is golden, about 5 minutes (tart shell will not be completely cooked).
• Immediately spoon filling into shell and crumble topping evenly over filling. Bake tart in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until topping is golden. Cool tart in pan on a rack. Tart may be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered and chilled, in pan. Reheat tart, uncovered, if desired or bring to room temperature before serving. Remove side of pan.
• Serve tart with whipped cream or ice cream.
