Apple Cream Spiced Rye Crumble Pots Recipes

APPLE, CREAM & SPICED RYE CRUMBLE POTS

Steps:

• Peel and core the apples and cut the flesh into chunks. Put these in a large saucepan with the caster sugar and 3 tbsp water and cook over a gentle heat until the apples are completely tender. Stir every so often and mash the fruit down roughly with the back of a wooden spoon. The finished purée shouldn't be too wet - if it is, simmer it over a low heat until it reduces and loses some of its moisture.
• Check the apples for sweetness - they shouldn't be too sweet as it's being mixed with sweet cream and breadcrumbs - and tip into a bowl to cool. In Scandinavia, the stewed apples are usually puréed until smooth, but you can also keep them chunky.
• Melt half the butter in a frying pan and add the brown breadcrumbs and half the brown sugar. Sauté, stirring constantly, over a medium heat until the breadcrumbs are golden. Add half the cinnamon and half the cardamom and continue to cook for about 1 min. Spread out on a tray - it cools quicker this way - and leave until it's room temperature. Do the same with the rye breadcrumbs, then mix the breadcrumbs together in a bowl.
• Whip the cream, adding the icing sugar and the lemon (add the lemon before the cream is too thick as the acid in the lemon has a thickening effect). If you are going to add the aquavit, do it once the cream has been whipped.
• Layer the apples, breadcrumbs and whipped cream in a glass bowl (so you can see the layers) starting with the stewed apples and ending with a layer of cream. Scatter over the hazelnuts just before serving.

APPLE CRISP WITH RYE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat an 8- or 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix together apples, sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
• Combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, rye flour, butter, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg in the empty bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon or with your hands until butter is distributed throughout flour and sugar mixture. Pour in milk and mix until combined. Press mixture together and spread over apples in the baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crumble topping is browned and juices are bubbling, about 40 minutes.

SPICY APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the oats, almonds, sesame seeds and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. In a small pan melt the butter with the honey then stir into the oats until it looks like rough breadcrumbs - you might need to use your hands.
• Put the apples, orange zest and juice and cardamom in a pan and cook for 10 mins until softened. Pick out the cardamom pods. Spoon into a baking dish, sprinkle with the sugar and scatter with the crumble mixture. Bake for about 40 mins until golden and crunchy. Serve with vanilla yogurt, ice cream or custard.
