Scale
For the crumble:
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecan (28g)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (50g)
- Big pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon of cold water
For the apples:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1–2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Big pinch of grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 4–5 Granny Smith apples
Instructions
- Prepare the brown butter. Add the stick of butter to a stovetop pot and melt over medium heat. The butter will pop and sizzle at first, and then stop. Once it quiets, keep an eye out for brown bits at the bottom of the pot and remove from heat. Add butter to a heatproof bowl and let it cool before placing it in the fridge to solidify.
- Prepare the apples. In an oven-safe serving dish, add the ingredients except for the apples and stir to combine. Peel the apples and slice them into pieces, then add them to the dish and toss to coat.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Prepare the crumble. Add all of the crumble ingredients except for the water to the bowl of a stand mixer, and combine with the paddle attachment. When the butter has combined with the dry ingredients and is about the size of small peas, add the tablespoon of water. Continue to combine until the crumble holds together pressed in your palm.
- Crumble the topping over the apples in big chunks, then place in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with ice cream. Enjoy!
