I cannot say I love fall. I mourn the end of summer every year and try to think about the highlights of fall such as apples, beautiful leaves, and sweaters. I go a bit crazy making apple recipes and here is an easy one to start with.
For the crisp fall weather an apple crumble.
Apple Crumble
- 6 medium baking apples, I used McIntosh
- 1 T lemon juice
- 2 T sugar
- ½ C walnuts tossed with 1t. olive oil – toasted and chopped
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ C brown sugar
- ½ C all-purpose flour
- ½ stick butter, I use unsalted for baking, room temperature
First toast your walnuts in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Let cool and chop coarsely.
Butter a 1 ½-2 quart baking dish and raise oven to 375 degrees.
Peel, core, and slice apples, toss with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add to prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, and butter. Mix this with your hands to get a coarse, sand like consistency.
Crumble this over your apples, add the toasted walnuts and bake until apples are done and topping is browned, about 35 minutes. (I always check about 5 minutes early to be safe)
I serve this warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
Adding a nice fresh cup of coffee doesn’t hurt either.
Enjoy!
