Apple and Mincemeat Crumble
Description
This crumble pairs fresh apples with mincemeat to form the filling, which is placed in a buttered ovenproof dish. The apples are peeled, cored, and chopped, then well combined with mincemeat to evenly coat them with the mixture's rich, spiced sweetness. A topping made by mixing melted butter with flour, oats, and optionally sugar is spread over the fruit layer.
Baked at 190°C (375°F) for around 35 minutes, the topping turns golden and crisp while the filling becomes hot and bubbly. The melted butter in the topping contributes to a deeper color and crumbly texture compared to the traditional method of rubbing cold butter into the flour.
The dessert offers a balance of soft, spiced apple bites and crunchy oats under a rich topping. It can be served warm, making it suitable as a cozy dessert during cooler months.
Melted butter shortens baking time and enhances topping color and texture compared to cold butter methods, offering a practical tip for improved results.
Ingredients
- 4 apple
- 6 tablespoon mincemeat
- 150 g butter
- 150 g flour
- 50 g oats
- sugar I find that the filling is sweet enough, and did not add any sugar to my topping, but granulated sugar can be used if wished to, optional, 50g
Instructions
- Butter an ovenproof dish.
- Peel, core and chop the apples, and add them to the dish together with the mincemeat.
- Mix well to get the apples fully coated in the mincemeat.
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, add the flour, oats, melted butter and sugar if used.
- Mix to get a lumpy mixture.
- Top the apple and mincemeat with the flour topping, and bake at 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit) for 35 minutes until golden and the filling is bubbling hot.
Notes
- Melting the butter before mixing with flour and oats leads to a golden, crumbly topping and slightly shorter baking time.
- You may adjust ingredient quantities for different serving sizes using the serving selector if available.
- Sugar in the topping is optional since the mincemeat often provides enough sweetness.
- For US customary measurements, conversions can be checked if needed.
