Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 Jazz apple
- 1 tbsp raw sugar
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Crumble Topping
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp raw sugar
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1.5 tbsp butter, melted
Garnish
- 1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prep the Filling: Chop one Jazz or Honeycrisp apple into small cubes and add them into a ramekin or small baking dish. Pour in 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon raw sugar, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix everything together until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Make the Crumble: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons raw sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Add 1.5 tablespoons melted butter and gently mix with your hands until the mixture forms small clumps. The topping should feel slightly damp and crumbly, resembling wet sand that sticks together but still breaks apart easily.
- Layer It Up: Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the prepared apple mixture in the ramekin. The topping will lightly cover the apples but does not need to completely conceal them.
- Bake It Off: Place the ramekin in a toaster oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. The crumble topping should turn golden brown and the apple filling should bubble at the edges. If using a conventional oven, baking time might extend to 35-40 minutes. If the topping looks pale, cook a few minutes longer until it achieves a golden color.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the apple crumble cool slightly after baking. Serve warm topped with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or rose saffron kulfi for a unique Desi twist.
Notes
- The crumble topping should be a little damp and clumpy, resembling wet sand rather than dry crumbles.
- Oven bake times may vary; look for bubbling edges and a golden brown topping as indicators of doneness.
- This is a lightly topped crumble; feel free to double the crumble topping if you prefer a thicker crust.
- Jazz or Honeycrisp apples are ideal, but any firm, sweet apple can be used.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or rose saffron kulfi for an enhanced flavor experience.
