Ingredients

Apple Filling
  • 1 (165g) apple
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Crumble
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp (40g) unsalted butter cold and diced
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 tablespoon walnuts chopped
  • 2 tablespoon rolled oats
To Serve
  • 2 coops vanilla ice cream
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Peel and cut the apple into 1.5 cm (1”) cubes.
  3. For the apple filling, in a small bowl, combine the diced apples with brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon powder. Toss well.
  4. Divide the apple filling into two ramekins. Bang the ramekins or gently flatten the apples with a fork. Big, empty spaces will make the crisp top sink during baking.
  5. For the crumble topping, in another shallow bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon powder. Mix with fingers by crumbling the butter and flour together. Do not make a smooth paste. The mixture should be crumbly.
  6. When everything is combined, add the walnuts and rolled oats to the flour mixture. Crumble again to incorporate them into the topping. The end result should be like wet sand.
  7. Divide this crumble into the two ramekins, placing over the apple filling. If required, crumble the mixture between your fingers to get that texture on the top.
  8. Bake in the middle rack for 20-25 minutes until you see the apple juices oozing through the sides and the crumble top has attained a golden color.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle some caramel sauce. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • diameter 7.5cm (3”) and height 5cm (2”).
  • Use fresh, crisp apples for optimum flavour.
  • This recipe uses one apple for two servings. If you are making a larger quantity and using more than one apple, I’d suggest using multiple varieties of apple for more depth of flavour. You can combine Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • You can skip oats completely too. Balance the quantity with more chopped nuts or flour otherwise the butter will be in excess.
  • This recipe can also be scaled up (by adjusting the number of servings in the recipe card) and baked in a baking tray or a Pyrex dish, perfect for serving a crowd.
  • I find that the sweetness of the crumble perfectly balances with the sweetness of the ice cream and caramel sauce. If you are skipping the two, you can increase the sugar in the crumble topping. And if you don’t have a particularly sweet tooth, you can also decrease the amount of sugar in the crumble.
  • Each ramekin has volume of around 118ml (4oz) and approximately with diameter 7.5cm (3”) and height 5cm (2”).
