Apple cinnamon crumble is the perfect fall dessert! Juicy apples, warm spices, and a crumble topping, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel to sweeten the pot.
It’s that time again! I have made it to my second month of active participation in a ‘club’. It’s called the Secret Recipe Club, where you are assigned a secret mission to be a ninja all over someone else’s blog, get to know them, check things out and pick a recipe and let it shine to the world. (Seriously, I would join any club where I got to be a secret ninja).
This month I was given Searching for Spice, Corina’s blog about trying new recipes. The site has tons of very diverse recipes, some even inspired by Top Chef challenges. How cool is that? I would never have the guts to tackle a lot of the challenges on Top Chef.
Since I’ve been all into Fall recipes, scents, apples and socks I chose to highlight this apple cinnamon crumble.
Apple Cinnamon Crumble
Adapted Searching for Spice
Ingredients:
3 MacIntosh apples- 2 tbs water
- 1/4 teas cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/8 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3-4 tbs butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 teas freshly grated nutmeg
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into 1/3 to 1/2 inch pieces. Put them a saucepan with the water. Sprinkle with the cinnamon, stir in to coat the apples. Mix in the raisins and walnuts. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (You’re going for fork tender apples here).
Make the crumble topping by rubbing the butter, flour, and brown sugar with a dough blender or fork. When it has reached a sand like constancy you’re good.
Put the apples into a small ovenproof dish or individual ramekins. Cover heavily with the crumble mixture and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Let cool before handing this to small children – hate to have a molten apple incident.
Serve warm with custard or ice-cream and freshly grated nutmeg on top.

Oh my gosh. I’ve only had coffee so far this morning and I think this apple crumble would go perfectly with it. Is that caramel sauce I see dripping over the ice cream? If I was a little kid, I’d let you be my mom. This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. (Can you tell I like it?)

Kita, this is uhhhh-uhhh-uhhhhhMAZING! Love how it can be vegan since butter can be substituted with vegan butter…and plus no eggs or other dairy. Thanks for sharing, Kita! You are fab!
Jessica says
Oh man those look absolutely AMAZING! And I have to say I love, love, LOVE all of your dishware! Is there a particular store you like to purchase them from? Every single picture on your site I drool over the dishware ALMOST as much as the food.
Kita says
I wish I could tell you where I’ve gotten most of my plates but a lot of them just have accumulated over the years. It looks like the Mad Hatter is throwing a 24/7 tea party at my house. However, I can say I have snagged a lot recently at TJ Maxx/Marshals/Home Goods. They are great to walk around and see what you can find on clearance!
marla says
Linking back to this crumble tomorrow 🙂 Do you have any Grilled Cheese recipes? If so please link them up on my current *Happy Post*
MikeW says
I meant to try this when I first saw it, finally got around to it.
I added a slug of brandy to the apples & used dried blueberries instead of raisins (neither Jean nor I are a big fan of raisins). It was delicious & fast. This recipe will stay in my collection.
I just need to get better with making crumble. I like it with some variation, coarse sand up to small gravel sized chunks, but can never manage it.
Kita says
Thank you so much for letting me know that you tried this one. It means a great deal to me when someone actually tried a recipe I’ve posted. I love the idea of using blueberries instead of raisins (I like them more anyway!). Crumble is tricky for me too and I always tend to over do it a bit.
sara says
This looks amazing! Yum, a perfect crumble, totally gorgeous! 🙂
