Apple Crumble Pie
A warm and homely dessert that's definitely a favourite of ours during the winter months. This recipe is a spin on two recipes to get the best of both worlds.
Apple, Baking, Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 sheet shortcrust pastry
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2.5 cups stewed apple
- 75 g butter, melted
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup flour
Instructions
- Heat oven to 175 degrees celsius.
- If you have square pastry, take your sheet and roll out to make it more round. Place it into your pie dish and trim the edges all around.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs onto the pastry.
- Place your stewed apple on top of the breadcrumbs and spread it around evenly.
- Mix all dry ingredients together with the melted butter then spread the crumb mixture on top of the apples.
- Place pie into the centre of the oven and bake for 30 minutes until pastry is golden. Check after 15 minutes as you may have to put a sheet of tin foil on top to prevent the crumb from burning.
- Serve warm with either cream or ice cream.
Notes
- To stew apples yourself is easy!
- Peel and dice 5 apples into fairly uniform pieces.
- Place a medium saucepan on low heat, and add 5 tablespoons water and diced apples. Cook, stirring regularly, for 10 minutes or until the apples have softened. Add more water to the saucepan if needed.
- Remove from heat and cool to use in this recipe.
- This recipe doesn't have any cinnamon but you could mix about 1/2-1 teaspoons into the stewed apples before adding it into the pie dish.
- The crumb is quite forgiving so if you want to add a little more or less of each dry ingredient you can but you just might need a little more or less butter. My proportions above are for a light covering of crumb on top of the pie.
