E Z Apple Crumble Recipes

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.

Steps:

• For the base and streusel topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking pan.
• Put the flour, oats, sugars, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 6 times, about 3 seconds per pulse, until some of the oatmeal is finely chopped and some still large or whole. Drizzle in the melted butter, toss with a fork and then pulse until the mixture comes together, about 8 times.
• Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Squeeze spoonfuls of the remaining mixture in your palm to make chunks - some larger, some smaller - and place in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate both the base and the chunks for 30 minutes.
• For the filling: Put the apple butter, dried fruit, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water in the cleaned bowl of the food processor and pulse to a chunky paste.
• Spread the filling over the chilled base. Scatter the streusel topping over the filling, leaving some of the filling showing through. Bake until the streusel is toasty and crisp, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, about 2 hours, before slicing into 16 squares.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Peel and core the apples, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place apple slices on an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan and toss with the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
• Spread the apples evenly on the pan, cover with foil and bake until the apples have softened and released some liquid, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the oats, flour, remaining 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl, breaking up any lumps with a fork. Add the remaining melted butter to the oat mixture, stirring with a fork until it is moistened and crumbly.
• Carefully uncover the sheet pan and scatter the oat crumble evenly over the top. Bake uncovered until the top is crisp and golden brown and juices are bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.
• Toss 575g peeled, cored and sliced Bramley apples with 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and put in a 23cm round baking dish at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through.
• Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.
• Slice in 110g cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface - rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor until sandy (don't over-process).
• Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out.
• Gently press the surface with the back of the fork so the crumble holds together and goes crisp, then lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish.
• Sprinkle 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over evenly, if you wish.
• Set on a baking tray and put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples feel very soft when you insert a small, sharp knife. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place apples in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain, and cool. Place in a large bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoons sugar to evenly coat.
• In a large bowl, whip together the 1/2 cup butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Mix in the egg. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, and custard powder. Mix dry ingredients into the bowl with butter and sugar. Press crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Drain apples and place into the crust. Cut together 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup butter, 1 1/4 cups flour, and cinnamon. Mix in coconut and oats. Sprinkle over the apples.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove sides from pan and allow crumble to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the apples with the caster sugar in a large pan, stirring occasionally - add a splash of water if they start to stick on the bottom. When just about tender and a bit saucy, stir in the sultanas or raisins and tip into 2 large ovenproof dishes.
• Melt the brown sugar, honey and butter together in a large pan. Off the heat, stir in the oats, flour, almonds and cinnamon until sticky and crumbly. Divide over the apples. To bake straight away, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 then bake for 40-50 mins until topping is golden and crisp. To freeze, wrap dishes well or freeze the fruit and crumble mixture in separate freezer bags if you don't have spare baking dishes. To cook from frozen, cover with foil and bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 1½ hrs, then turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and bake for a further 45 mins, removing the foil for the last 15 mins.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pile sliced apples in an 8x10-inch casserole dish. Mix water and lemon juice together and sprinkle over apples.
• Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well using an electric mixer. Add butter pieces and mix until clumpy. Pour over apples, spreading to cover all but the outer edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly to thicken before serving in bowls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Core the apples. Slice 2 apples and dice 1 apple. Scatter over an 8-inch pie dish.
• Mix cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest into water. Keep stirring the mixture while pouring over the apples. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
• Stir flour and brown sugar together for topping. Cut in butter. Rub the butter into the mixture with your fingers to give a crumbly texture. Scatter it on top of the apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are soft and topping is golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Cut up the apples into slices (leave skin on) and arrange in a large baking dish. Pour apple juice on top of the apples, and set the pan aside. Put the oats, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor and pulse until you get a coarse meal. Put the crumble topping in a bowl and add the maple syrup. Mix well and then spoon the crumble topping on top of the apples. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp the topping. Serve warm.
• Tip: Take this opportunity to buy fresh apples from the farmer's market and/or buy organic. It's worth it! I leave the skin on my apples for extra nutrients, but feel free to peel them before you cut into slices if you like no skins.

Steps:

• Peel the apples and cut them to cubes or slices. Place them in a small pot and then add the lemon juice, the sugar, the water and the the spices. Boil in low heat until the apples are soft.
• In a bowl mix by hand the sugar, the butter and the flour until they turn to crumbles.
• Butter a pyrex and then place the apple mixture. Put the crumbles on the top.
• Bake at 350 F for 20-30 minutes.
• Let it cool for a while and dash the powedered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Line an 8-inch pie pan or heatproof baking dish with the pie dough; prick the dough with the tines of a fork.
• In a bowl, mix together the apples, ¼ cup of the sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon.
• In a second bowl, mix together the flour, ½ cup of the sugar, and the unsalted butter; work these ingredients together with a fork until you have a crumbly mixture.
• Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture and smooth over the surface.
• Spoon the crumble over the apple mixture so that the apples are completely covered.
• Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon over the crumble.
• Bake for 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F, Place sliced apples in a greased 13" X 9" dish.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 tsp of the cinnamon over fruit.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt.
