Apple Crumble

Ingredients

• 3 apples (peeled and sliced)
• 1.5 tbsp brown sugar (amount ranges from 1 to 2 tbsp)
• 17.5 g butter (for the apple filling; source gives 15–20 g)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (for the apple filling)
• 0.25 tsp nutmeg (for the apple filling)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• salt (a pinch, for the apple filling)
• 90 g butter (soft; source gives 80–100 g. The method calls for cold butter)
• 200 g plain flour
• 25 g brown sugar (for the crumble topping)
• 50 g white sugar (for the crumble topping; amount can be adjusted to taste)
• 0.75 tsp cinnamon (for the topping; source gives ½–1 tsp)
• nutmeg (a pinch, for the topping)
• salt (a pinch, for the topping)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and slice the apples. Prepare the filling ingredients and topping ingredients, keeping the topping butter cold for rubbing into the flour and sugars.

2. 2

   Put the apples, 1–2 tablespoons brown sugar, 15–20 g butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a pan over medium heat. Cook until the apples soften and become glossy and caramelized.

3. 3

   Divide the cooked apple filling among ramekins.

4. 4

   Rub the cold topping butter into the plain flour and both sugars until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. 5

   Mix the topping cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into the crumb mixture.

6. 6

   Pile the crumble topping over the apples in the ramekins.

7. 7

   Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.

8. 8

   For a crispier top, grill for another 1–2 minutes at the end, checking closely and watching to prevent burning.

9. 9

   Serve the crumble; the creator suggests serving it with vanilla ice cream.
