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 place them in your ramekin or baking dish. Add 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon raw sugar, 1 teaspoon raw sugar, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix until the apple pieces 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 mix gently with your hands until the mixture forms small clumps with a slightly damp, sandy texture that sticks together but still crumbles.
- Layer It Up: Evenly spoon the crumble topping over the apple mixture in your ramekin. It’s okay if the topping doesn’t completely cover the apples since this is a lightly topped crumble.
- Bake It Off: Place the dish in a toaster oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. If using a regular oven, bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, ensuring the crumble is nice and golden with bubbling fruit below.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly before serving topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or rose saffron kulfi for a delightful twist.
Notes
- The topping should look slightly damp and clumpy, resembling wet sand, rather than dry and powdery.
- Oven baking times may vary; look for bubbling edges and a golden brown top to judge doneness.
- This recipe has a lighter crumble topping; you can double the crumble ingredients if you prefer more topping.
- Jazz and Honeycrisp apples work best for their sweetness and firmness, but any firm-sweet apple variety can be substituted.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream or kulfi enhances the dessert’s flavor and texture.
