Supplies

Filling:

– 4 apples

– 1,5 tbsp sugar

– 1 tsp vanilla extract

– 1 tsp cinnamon

– Juice of ¼ lemon


Crumble Topping:

– 100 g flour

– 70 g oats

– 85 g butter

– Pinch of salt

– 1,5 tbsp sugar


Decoration:

– Caramel sauce (quick recipe https://youtube.com/shorts/IQCd0Ds4ETg)

– Almond flakes

Step 1:

1 — Prepare the apples

Peel, core and slice the apples into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2:

Put the apple slices in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with the juice of ¼ lemon (this prevents browning). Toss to coat.

Step 3:

2 — Make the filling

Add 2 tbsp (≈25 g) sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1½ tsp (≈7 ml) vanilla extract to the apples.

Step 4:

Mix well so the slices are evenly coated. Set the filling aside.

Step 5:

3 — Make the crumble topping (dough)

In a separate bowl combine 100 g flour, 70 g rolled oats, 3 tbsp (≈38 g) sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6:

Cut 85 g cold butter into small cubes

Step 7:

Add the butter to the flour, oats, sugar, and salt. Rub it with your hands until it becomes fine crumbs.

Step 8:

4 — Assemble

Take your ovenproof dishes (individual ramekins or one 8″/20 cm dish). Fill each dish about two-thirds full with the apple filling.

Step 9:

Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples to cover — aim for about one-third crumble : two-thirds apples by volume. Press the topping down gently (do not compact it too hard).

Step 10:

5 — Bake

Bake at 350°F / 180°C for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.

Step 11:

6 — Finish & serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with caramel sauce (see your channel’s shorts recipe 👉https://youtube.com/shorts/IQCd0Ds4ETg) and sprinkle almond flakes on some portions if desired. Serve warm.

Step 12:

Enjoy your meal, everyone! 🥰
