Cook&Smile: Apple Crumble My Way

APPLE CRUMBLE MY WAY

Makes 6 portions

3 large apples, halved vertically, peeled, and cored

1-2 tbsp melted sweet butter

65g or 4 tbsp sweet butter (my apologies I mentioned 2 in the video)

53g or ¼ cup brown sugar, plus more for sprinkling

72g or 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1tsp cinnamon

½ tsp apple pie spice (optional)

Vanilla ice cream for serving and Caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350◦F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place each apple half flat side down and use a sharp knife to create thin slices all the way across, making sure you stop slicing right before the bottom of the apple, so it stays together as one piece. Transfer the apples to the baking tray. Brush the apple tops with melted butter and sprinkle with some sugar. Bake for about 25min until apples are soft. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool a bit. Combine in a small bowl the remaining butter, the oats, and the spices to make your crumble. Once the apples are cool enough to work with, spoon crumble mixture inside apple slits. Return to oven and bake 10min more. Top each with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce. You can easily prepare this in the morning, keep them in fridge and then extend the last baking step to 15min before serving it.
