Individual Apple Crumbles Recipes

INDIVIDUAL APPLE CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the center of the oven and another in the top third of the oven (about 6-inches from the broiler) and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter 6 6-ounce ramekins.
• Stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, walnuts and salt in a medium bowl. Work the butter into the oat mixture with your fingertips until it is in even pea-size pieces. Evenly divide the apples among the ramekins and top with the oat mixture.
• Transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet and bake on the middle oven rack until the fruit bubbles around the sides and the tops are golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Turn the oven to broil, put the baking sheet with the ramekins on the top oven rack and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

THE BEST APPLE CRUMBLE

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.

HOMEMADE APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange apple pieces in a baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar, and cinnamon; toss well.
• In a bowl, combine the rice flour, almond meal, sugar, and coconut. Cut in butter until mixture is fine and crumbly. Sprinkle topping over apples.
• Cover and bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until the apples have lost their shape. Uncover, and continue to bake until crumble is crisp and golden in color.

APPLE CRUMBLE

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.

MINI APPLE CRUMBLE PIES

Steps:

• First, stew the apples:
• Peel, core and finely chop (1-2 cm cubes) the apples and put in a small saucepan with a lid.
• Add the water and caster sugar, cover and bring to the boil, then turn down the heat to allow them to stew while you make the bases. Keep an eye on how soft they are becoming, they should be ready in about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat when they resemble apple crumble filling.
• To make the bases:
• Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF, gas mark 4). Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then gradually beat in the egg.
• Mix the flour and cinnamon, then sift into the batter. Finally add the oats and fold it all together.
• Grease a 12-hole mince pie tin and use a tablespoon to divide the base mix evenly between them. Put to one side while you make the topping.
• To make the topping:
• In a mixing bowl, use your fingers to crumble together the butter and flour, until they form crumbs.
• Add the sugar and crumble it into the butter and flour until the whole mix resembles fine crumbs.
• Assemble and bake:
• Flatten each spoonfull of batter, and use your finger or the back of a spoon to make an indent in each base.
• Use a teaspoon to add the stewed apple to form a small mound on top. Leave 1-2mm of batter visible at the edges beneath the apple. Spoon the crumble topping over each pie to cover the apple and base.
• Bake for 10–15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly in the tin, then turn out onto a wire rack with the aid of a rubber spatula.
• Serve warm, if possible.
