Ingredients
 
 

For the Filling

  • 3 Apples Peeled and Sliced
  • 100 gr Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 100 gr Raisins Dark or Golden

For the Crumble

  • 120 gr All Purpose Flour
  • 100 gr Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 113 gr Unsalted Butter Chilled and Cubed
  • 90 gr Old Fashioned Oats Toasted
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

For the Topping (Optional)

  • 1 tsp Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 350 F.
  • Peel and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
  • Place a non-stick pan on the stove. Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. On medium-low heat let the sugar dissolve till it becomes light caramel. Do not stir till the sugar has completely dissolved and turned into golden brown.
  • Add the sliced apples, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zest.
  • Pour the raisins and stir well. When all the ingredients are covered with caramel and the mixture is not too runny, remove the pan from heat.
  • In a bowl add the flour, dark brown sugar, salt and stir. Brake the big chunks of sugar using a fork.
  • Cut the butter into ½ inches pieces and add them to the mixture. Using your hands break the butter into small pieces till the mixture resembles wet sand and there are still pea sized crumps.
  • Add the oats, cinnamon and give it a good stir.
  • In a lightly 9’x9’ greased pan add the apple filling and using a spatula pat down the mixture so there are no big gaps.
  • Spread the crumble. If you want you can sprinkle some extra cinnamon-sugar on top.
  • Bake for around 30 minutes or until the top gets golden brown.
  • Let the apple raisin crumble cool down on a cooling rack for approximately one hour.
  • Serve it with a cold scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

Notes

  • The recipe works well with both peeled and unpeeled apples. It is totally a matter of preference.
  • You can omit raisins but please try it at least once as shared in the recipe. Raisins pair perfectly with apples and cinnamon. You could also substitute raisins with cranberries.
  • If you use salted butter, do not add salt in the recipe.
  • If you have a sweet tooth like me the amount of sweetness will be ok. Alternatively, you can reduce the amount of sugar for the crumble but not the apple raisin filling.
  • Note that all ovens bake differently, so yours may take a little less or a little more time to bake.
  • Apple crumble should be consumed ideally same day. Otherwise, it can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
