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!

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
