Apple Crumbles

November 24, 2013 By Lokness 8 Comments

Apple Crumble

A couple of years ago, we went to an apple farm to pick apples. It was tons of fun and we picked many apples. With that amount of apples, it was hard to eat them all raw. So I found this crumbles recipe from Ina Garten and turned it into apple crumbles.

Today, I am finally posting this recipe. The apples were tender with a little bite. It was warm and tart with the crispy topping. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was like apple a la mode. It is a very easy dessert with little work to do. If you still need a dessert for the holiday party, this would be a winner. Light and comforting. Great flavors to end a feast!

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a blast with your families and friends! Eat more!

Apple Crumbles (Adapted from Ina Garten vs Foodnetwork.com)

2 – 3 servings

Ingredients:

–   3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and cut into ¾-inch slices)

–   2 tablespoons sugar

–   1 tablespoon flour

–   zest from ½ lemon

–   ½ tablespoon lemon juice

–   ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

–   vanilla ice cream

Crumble topping:

–   ¼ cup all-purpose flour

–   1½ tablespoon sugar

–   1 tablespoon light brown sugar

–   1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

–   dash of ground cinnamon

–   2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (diced)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Mix well. Transfer the mixture to ramekin(s).
  3. For the crumble, in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugars, salt, cinnamon and butter. Mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Rub and squeeze the mixture slightly with your fingertips until it is in big crumbles. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples evenly. Place the ramekin(s) on a baking sheet and bake for 40 – 45 minutes, or until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  1. The crumble should not look like sand. They should kind of come together like many clumps of balls (big and small).
  2. The crumble topping can be made 1 day ahead. Store in a bowl with plastic wrap in the fridge. The whole dessert can also be made a few hours ahead of time. Store the unbaked crumbles in the fridge and bake when ready.
  3. It may look like a lot of apples, but don’t worry. The apples will shrink down during cooking.
  4. It is nice to choose a couple varieties for the apples. I don’t like my crumbles too tart, so I picked sweet and firm apples (honeycrisp and jazz). If you prefer tart, use granny smith and pippin. If you don’t know much about apples, this cheat sheet is very helpful.

    I love apple/pear/berry crumble so much. Actually, anything with streusel or crumble is wonderful. Just so warming and lovely.

    Looks wonderful and I love the practical, smaller portion. I was really planning on making individual apple crumbles (particularly for my hubby) but never got around to it…maybe when things slow down for 2 minutes after Thanksgiving? You inspired me to put it back into the picture. Have a great Thanksgiving!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!

Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) a Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) are so damn GOOD! 🥟 Smokey, little sweet, meaty, & crispy skin. I could eat a few plates of those! We first tried the sampler, but was most impressed by the galbi ones. We like the pork too, but the jalapeño one was way too spicy for my taste. It actually has half of a jalapeño in it.🔥
