- a classic English dessert that will not leave anyone indifferent who decides to try this delight. Tender and crispy shortbread crumbs combined with caramelized baked apples will bring indescribable pleasure. And, if you complement the dessert with ice cream, the taste pleasure will increase even more and reach at least level 80. Well, making dessert is surprisingly simple and quick, even indecently simple. I was surprised when I tried this recipe how simple everything was and did not require any special cooking skills.

It has low calorie content due to the large proportion of apples in the composition and the use of brown sugar. And, as you know, it is absorbed more slowly by the body, so it will never cause excess weight. So, we can say that apple crumble is healthy while remaining a tempting sweet dessert.

To bake crumbles, heat-resistant ceramic or porcelain pots are used. These are usually used to make creme brulee, cocotte eggs and other famous world dishes. They're called ramekins, in case anyone's interested. You can, of course, try other baking forms, but it seems to me that this dessert requires classics.

You can make shortbread crumbs for a large number of desserts at once, just put the leftovers in the freezer each time. The dough will lie there for about a month. And if you suddenly have a desire to eat something or, as they say, guests are on the doorstep, then pre-prepared dough will greatly speed up the process of making crumbles.

Ingredients

• apples 300 g
• Brown sugar 60 g
• flour 90 g
• butter 50 g
• sugar 40 g
• cinnamon 1 teaspoon
• walnuts 20 g

It is better to take unsweetened apples. If your apples are sweet, then you should reduce the amount of sugar, otherwise it will be overly cloying. It is also better to take apples with fairly dense pulp, as they will be subject to heat treatment. Very tender and juicy, they will most likely fall apart when frying in a frying pan.

I used Demerara brown sugar; it has a pronounced caramel aroma and taste, which is what we need when caramelizing apples. If you don’t have brown sugar, you can, of course, replace it with regular white sugar.

Walnuts go very well with apples, but if they are unavailable, you can replace them with other nuts or omit them from the recipe.

From the specified amount of ingredients, 4 desserts are obtained in molds with a diameter of 8 cm (about 4 cm in height). When using molds of other sizes, adjust the amount of ingredients.

Preparation

We prepare all the necessary ingredients. The oil must be very cool. It is best to cut it into small cubes and then place it in the refrigerator or even the freezer half an hour before cooking.

Cut the nuts into medium-sized pieces. To separate the resulting very fine crumbs, you can transfer the chopped nuts into a colander, shake so that the crumbs fall out and transfer the nuts to a cup to await your further mission.

Next comes an optional step, but I highly recommend not skipping it. You can put nuts in dessert in this form, but if you lightly heat (fry) the nuts in a frying pan, their taste is transformed and enhanced, and the nuts themselves become brittle and crunchy. Well, heat treatment will not interfere with nuts that are sold already shelled, you never know where they have been. This doesn't just apply to walnuts. So, pour the nuts into a dry frying pan without oil and put it on the stove at a power slightly less than average. Roast the nuts, stirring constantly to ensure even roasting. When the nuts start to turn brown, remove from the heat, pour the nuts into a cup and leave to cool. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes.

Apples are next. Peel the apples, cut them in half, remove the core (this is convenient to do with a teaspoon) and cut into slices.

Now we will caramelize the apples. We will do this in order to make the apple flavor richer and add apple caramel sauce to the filling. Pour cinnamon, brown sugar and apples into a dry frying pan, mix and place on the stove at medium power.

Stirring constantly, heat the contents of the pan: the sugar will begin to melt and the apples will begin to produce juice. The roasting process is light and very aromatic.

After 3-5 minutes (depending on the apples), the filling will be ready: the sugar will completely melt, the apples will give juice, which will mix with the sugar. The syrup will darken and coat each piece. Looks very tasty!

And finally, we make the crumble. We don't just need to mix sugar, butter and flour. Our goal is for every grain of butter to be coated on all sides with flour and sugar. I mixed it in the bowl of a chopper, but you can also mix it in a food processor or just with a fork. You need to mix quickly, without allowing the butter to melt and absorb the flour and sugar. If you still decide to make the dough with your hands, then you should try to mix the ingredients very quickly so that the heat of your hands does not cause the butter to begin to melt.

The crumb seemed too small to me, I crushed it a little with my hands, the small crumbs combined into larger ones and now my dough looks like this.

So, everything is ready to assemble the apple crumbles.

Place the apple filling on the bottom of the molds. The number of apples can be adjusted to your taste. I prefer the apple layer to be slightly larger than the crumb layer. Sprinkle the apple filling with nuts and spoon the dough on top with a teaspoon. I spread the crumbs to the very top, this will give beautiful caramel smudges on the side of the pan, since during the baking process the apple filling will boil and try to get out.

Place the molds on a wire rack. I usually place baking paper under the pans to prevent the caramel syrup from dripping to the bottom of the oven. It will be quite difficult to tear it off later. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 25 minutes.

Ready! Can be served both hot and cold. The classic option is to serve the crumble with ice cream. After preparing the first desserts, there is a desire to immediately experiment with fillings and spices. Don't hold back, let your culinary creativity come out and enjoy it! Bon appetit!

Cooking steps

Step #1. First, prepare all the necessary ingredients for our future English apple crumble. This pie recipe is universal - lovers of sweet and sour will be equally pleased, and the amount of sugar can be increased/decreased depending on your preferences. Crumble is also made with other sour fruits or berries, but still apple pie is a win-win option.

Step #2. Take a baking dish and grease its bottom and sides thoroughly with butter. Sprinkle 1 tbsp. l. sugar in the mold, and then place it in a preheated oven. Your task is to ensure that the butter melts.

Step #3. Now start filling. The dessert according to this recipe will turn out 100% if you use sour apples for preparation. The fact is that such fruits themselves are very juicy and can be easily cooked; they will quickly become soft, and you will sooner finish preparing the filling. Wash the apples under running water, dry them with a kitchen towel, then core them, peel them and cut them into small slices. The shape of the pieces does not play a big role, since in the end the fruit will be hidden by sand crumbs and they will not be visible.

Step #4. Place the apple slices in a baking dish, then sprinkle them with sugar (1 tablespoon) and cinnamon. Finally, sprinkle the apples with lemon juice, cover with foil and place in the oven at 180 degrees for a while until they are completely soft. Usually 20-30 minutes is enough, but do not forget that a lot depends on the variety. Monitor the condition of the fruit periodically. When they reach the desired softness, remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil.

Step #5. Now you can move on to preparing the shortbread crumbs. To do this, mix wheat flour, butter, salt and sugar in a deep bowl.

Step #6. Using your hands, thoroughly grind all the ingredients into crumbs. English crumble is famous precisely because of this shortbread dough. The crumble is easy to make and behaves quite predictably when baking, which simplifies the cooking process.

Step #7. Now it's time to get out the pan of baked apples if you haven't already. Now sprinkle the apple slices evenly with shortbread crumbs and return the pie pan to the oven. Bake the crumble for about 25 minutes. It is not necessary to cover it with foil so that the sand crumbs brown.

Step #8. Take 50g of peeled or unshelled almonds - the kernels without the skin will, of course, turn into a more tender crumb. Chop the nuts into very small pieces - we will use them to decorate our crumble when it is ready. The recipe for English pie involves the use of almonds, since its combination with apples is recognized as one of the most successful in baking.

Step #9. When the sand crumbs are well browned, the dessert is ready. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the apple pie generously with the almond crumbles. So we have come to the end of our recipe.

Leave the finished crumble to cool. English apple pie is served both cold and hot. Cut it into small pieces and carefully place on plates, and before serving, sprinkle the apple crumble with powdered sugar. The pie goes well with dairy products, so a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to the slice would be just right.

As you have already noticed, the apple crumble recipe will not take much of your time. Sometimes the pie is prepared in advance and stored in the freezer as a semi-finished product, and, for example, before guests arrive, it is taken out and baked.

Recipe 5: crumble with apples and walnuts (with photo)

The basic recipe is incredibly simple: apples are cut into pieces, distributed into molds and baked under shortbread crumbs consisting of flour, butter and sugar. The result is a juicy and soft filling under a delicious crispy crust. And if you are not lazy and simmer the apples with butter and sugar in a frying pan before putting them in the oven, the dish will be even more aromatic and tender!

Apples are most often used as the base for crumble, but if you wish, you can prepare the dessert with pear, plum, cherry or a mixture of different berries. The “highlight” of the recipe is not the main ingredient itself, but its combination with sweet flour crumbs.

• apples (preferably green, hard) - 600 g;
• sugar - 20 g;
• butter - 20 g;
• ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon;
• walnuts - 50 g.

For the test:

• flour - 160 g;
• butter - 80 g;
• sugar - 60-70 g.

After cutting off a thin layer of peel and removing the core, cut the apples into large pieces and place in a bowl. To prepare crumble, it is advisable to take hard, sweet and sour fruits - then the dessert will benefit in taste.

Pour 20 g of sugar into the apples, add ground cinnamon and thoroughly mix the contents of the bowl.

In a dry, heated frying pan, stirring, fry the nuts for 3-5 minutes. After cooling, grind the nut kernels using a blender. There is no need to grind the nuts to a minimum crumb - it is enough to get medium-sized pieces.

In an empty frying pan, melt 20 g of butter, and then lay out the apples mixed with sugar and cinnamon.

Stirring occasionally, keep the mixture on low heat for 7-10 minutes. As a result, the grains of sugar should completely melt, and the apple pieces should acquire a golden hue. After removing from heat, add nuts to the prepared apple mixture and mix.

Cut the cooled solid butter into cubes of arbitrary size.

Add sugar and all the sifted flour at once.

We begin to actively rub the mass with our hands until crumbs are obtained. Now the dough for apple crumble is ready!

Divide the mixture of apples and nuts into portioned containers, lightly greased with butter (the number of ingredients is designed for 5-6 small molds). You can cook it in one large container, but keep in mind that the dessert turns out to be very crumbly and you won’t be able to cut it like a pie; you will have to put it on plates with a spoon.

Cover the apples with flour crumbs and place them in a hot oven.

\

Maintaining the temperature at 200 degrees, bake the apple crumble for 20-30 minutes (until the crumbs are browned).

The dessert can be served either warm or cooled. Apple crumble goes well with a scoop of ice cream.

Recipe 6, step by step: apple crumble from Yulia Vysotskaya

For the baby:

• 250 g flour
• 100 g sugar
• 160 g softened butter
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon soda

For filling:

• 8 strong apples
• 1 cup granulated sugar (can vary depending on the acidity or sweetness of the apples)

And after this time, we take out our crumble)) let it cool a little and enjoy, it’s especially good to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Recipe 7: how to make apple crumble at home

Crispy crumbs with walnuts go well with tender baked apples. It’s better to make the dessert right away in portioned ceramic molds; if you don’t have them, use a regular round pie pan, then simply spoon it onto everyone’s plate with a large spoon, trying to evenly place both the filling and the crumbs.

• apple – 2 pcs.
• butter – 50 g
• sugar – 2 tbsp.
• walnuts – 50 g
• flour - 2 tbsp.

Place cold but not frozen butter, sugar and flour in a bowl.

Grind everything with a fork into fine crumbs. If the dough comes together in a lump, you can add a little more flour.

Chop the walnuts with a knife. There should be large pieces, so do not grind them into flour. Pour into the bowl with the rest of the crumble dough ingredients.

Mix.

Peel the apples from cores and skins. Cut into small cubes. Place in molds, compacting well. During baking, their volume will decrease and they will “fall off”. Fill the molds about two-thirds full.

Sprinkle butter crumbs with walnuts on top. Place in a well-heated oven and bake at 200 degrees. 15-20 minutes. The crumbles should be slightly browned on top, but it is important to ensure that the nuts do not burn. If the allotted time has already passed, and the tops remain light, you should increase the temperature slightly and keep in the oven for another 5-7 minutes, because here it is important to get crispy crumbs.

This delicacy is delicious served hot, straight from the oven. It will be interesting if you put a scoop of ice cream on top, which will immediately melt upon contact with the surface of the dessert.

Recipe 8: apple crumble with oatmeal and raisins

• apples – 0.5 kg;
• dark raisins - half a glass;
• sugar – 2-3 tbsp. spoons (to taste);
• ground cinnamon – 1 tsp;
• butter – 2 tbsp. spoons;

For the oat streusel you will need:

• instant oatmeal - 4 tbsp. spoons;
• wheat flour – 2 tbsp. l. with a low slide;
• sugar – 3 tbsp. l;
• butter – 50-60 gr.

Apples for crumble with oatmeal can be left with the skin or cut off - at your discretion. But keep in mind that the consistency of the finished crumble depends on how soft the apples are. If you peel the apples, then when stewing they can turn into puree, and the crumble tastes better with pieces of fruit. Cut the apples into 4 slices, remove the seeds and then cut into small pieces (as for pies).

Heat the butter in a frying pan. Pour in the apples and simmer over high heat until the apples release juice. Reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and continue to simmer the apples until soft. Add sugar, cinnamon, mix with apples. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Ready apples should be soft.

Add raisins to apples. It must be poured with boiling water in advance or steamed in a water bath and dried. Mix raisins with apples and set aside for now.

Now you need to prepare everything for the oat streusel. We take instant flakes - they are more tender and soft. Pour the flakes into a dry frying pan and lightly brown over low heat until golden brown. Toasted oatmeal will have a very pleasant nutty flavor.

Mix the cooled flakes with flour and sugar.

Cut cold butter into this mixture into pieces (it is advisable to freeze it a little to make it easier to prepare the streusel).

Using your fingertips, quickly grind all the ingredients into crumbs. Place the streusel in the refrigerator.

Forms for preparing apple crumble with oatmeal are best used in portions, small in size, with high walls. Grease the molds with butter. Fill almost to the top with stewed apples.

Take the oat streusel out of the refrigerator. Spread an even layer over the apples, covering them completely. Place the molds in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Cook the apple crumble in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

You can serve apple crumble with oatmeal warm, hot or cooled - in each case it will have a special taste. You can complement the sweet dessert with a scoop of vanilla or cream ice cream or any berry or mint syrup. Bon appetit!

Recipe 9, simple: how to make egg crumble with cinnamon

A delicious dish of apples, cinnamon and butter crumbs.

• 200 g apples
• 80 g flour
• 40 g butter
• 40 g sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

It is best to take the sweet and sour variety of apples, because such apples are the most delicious when baked. Makes approximately 3 servings of dessert. If you don’t have portion molds, you can bake in one mold and spread the finished dessert with a spoon.

Mix flour and sugar.

Melt the butter (I melted it in a cup in the microwave). Pour the butter into the flour and sugar and mix with a fork.

It is necessary to mix with a fork, slightly loosening and breaking up any too large lumps. The end result should be crumbs.

Cut the apple into large slices (remember to cut out the inedible part), then cut the slices in half.

Grease portion molds with oil. Lay out the apples (do not lay out tightly).

Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cover with crumbs. Place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for about 25 minutes, until light golden brown.

In the finished dessert, the apples are very soft, and the crumbs on top are crispy.

Recipe 10: apple crumble with cinnamon and lemon (step by step)

Crumbles can be prepared both in portioned molds and in one large heat-resistant form with low sides: glass or ceramic. I haven’t tried it in silicone or metal ones. But, I think, in silicone, if it is of high quality, it is also possible. But it’s probably not worth it in a metal one - the juice generously released from the fruits and berries of the lower layer will come into contact with the metal walls of the mold and oxidize, and this is undesirable.

• 5-6 medium sweet and sour apples (Pepenka, Granny Smith);
• 6 tablespoons of flour (a little on top);
• 3+1 tablespoons sugar (even with the edges);
• 3+1 tablespoons of butter (about 15 g in a spoon, I took 50 g in total);
• Cinnamon - a pinch;
• Vanillin - on the tip of a teaspoon;
• Lemon juice – 2 tablespoons;
• Lemon zest – 1 teaspoon;
• Salt – a pinch.

The amount of apples and sugar can be varied according to your taste. If the apples are sour, you can use a little more sugar; if you don’t like sweets, vice versa. I like the option where there are a lot of apples and a little bit of crumbs. So you can take 7-8 pieces.

Wash the apples and remove the cores. And from the peel too, so that the dessert turns out tender. Cut the apples into small pieces, as if you were going to stew them for filling in pies.

Turn on the oven to warm up to 200C.

Melt a piece of butter in a frying pan (a little less than a tablespoon, about 10-15 g), add apples and 1 spoon of sugar.

Stir and simmer, stirring, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the apples begin to soften.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the butter (3 tablespoons) and sugar. Add lemon zest, salt, cinnamon and vanillin.

Grind everything together with your hands into crumbly crumbs. If the crumb is sticky, you need a little more flour, if it’s too dry, a drop of butter.

Place the apples in the mold and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Pour the crumbs onto the apples, distribute them evenly, press lightly and, loosening them a little with a fork, sprinkle them with lemon juice again.

Place in the oven on a medium rack and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. When the top of the crumble begins to turn golden brown and the apple juice below begins to boil, making its way out and soaking the crumbs, the dessert is ready.

Desserts that can be prepared quickly always help out when guests are about to arrive and there is nothing to add to tea. Apple crumble - a delicious and simple dessert will be an excellent lifesaver for such situations. Shortbread apple pie will appeal to both adults and little eaters.

• 2 apples (preferably medium, sour);
• 1 tsp. l. sugar for apples and 2 table. l. for the base;
• 1 table. l. butter for filling and 1 ½ tbsp. l. for the base;
• a pinch of salt;
• 4 table. l. flour;
• vanillin;
• 1 table. l. crushed nuts.

Preparing a classic crumble:

1. Dry the nuts in advance in a dry hot frying pan.
2. Rinse the apples, peel them and cut out the seeds. Cut the pulp into cubes, place in a saucepan, add sugar and butter. All that remains is to mix the resulting mass and simmer for a few minutes.
3. While the filling is cooking, make the flour crumbs. To do this, combine the remaining components and manually grind them together.
4. Place the apple layer in the dessert pan, then the crumbs. Lightly tamp with a spoon.
5. Bake at 200ºC for 20-25 minutes.

With oat flakes

Apple crumble with oatmeal will help out those who are on a diet. I still really want something sweet!

• 4 apples;
• 4 table. l. raisins (light);
• 3 table. l. oils (preferably olive);
• 2 table. l. honey;
• 2 table. l. walnut kernels;
• 2 tsp. l. lemon juice;
• 4 table. l. oatmeal.

Preparing oatmeal crumble:

1. Rinse the apples, peel them and cut out the core with seeds. Grate using a coarse grater and lightly sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent the pulp from darkening.
2. Rinse the raisins, dry them with paper towels or allow excess liquid to drain through a sieve. Stir in the applesauce and distribute evenly over the bottom of the pan.
3. Combine flakes with butter, honey and crushed kernels. Distribute the mixture evenly over the apple mixture.
4. Bake in the oven at 180ºC for 15-20 minutes.

Apple crumble with almonds

• 450 g apples;
• half a stick of butter;
• 165 g powdered sugar;
• 175 g flour;
• 50 g almonds;
• a pinch of cinnamon.

Preparation of apple-almond crumble:

1. Pour boiling water over the almonds for a few minutes. Then drain the liquid and peel the skin off the softened almonds. Chop into small pieces.
2. We prepare apples as always. Finally, cut into small slices, place on the bottom of a baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
3. Prepare the crumbs: mix flour with powder and rub it all with butter. Add almonds to the dough and mix.
4. Spread the dough evenly over the apples.

The workpiece is ready. All that remains is to bake the crumble in the oven for half an hour.

With walnuts

The preparation of apple crumble with walnuts is similar to the previous recipe, which uses almonds. The principle is the same - the kernels are chopped and added to the dough.

It is worth paying attention to several nuances:

1. Walnuts must be taken fresh. If stored for a long time, bitterness may appear.
2. Before use, instead of soaking, it is better to fry the nuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly.

It is indispensable in the summer, when there is an abundance of fruits, berries and other sweet fruits. Apples, pears and plums are considered ideal fillings; these fruits are dense, do not turn into porridge when baked, and give a little juice that saturates the dry dough well.

You can diversify the dessert by adding grated chocolate and various nuts.

The crumble looks beautiful sprinkled with powdered sugar.

An ideal addition to crumble is ice cream; a good dessert with juice, fruit drink, cold milk or hot coffee.
