Baked Apple Toffee Crumble Food

BAKED APPLE & TOFFEE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put everything for the apple layer, except the lemon juice and apples, into a bowl and microwave on High for 1½ mins until the butter has melted and the sugar is syrupy. Toss in the apples and lemon juice, then spoon into a medium baking dish, making sure the dried fruit is evenly distributed.
• Rub the flour and butter together, first into fine crumbs, then keep going until the mix forms bigger clumps, a bit like a rough biscuit dough. Stir in the sugar, oats and almonds. Scatter over the fruit, then cover with foil and bake for 1 hr, removing the foil for the final 30 mins, until golden and bubbling. Rest for 10 mins, then serve with custard or ice cream.

TOFFEE APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180. Peel, core and slice the apples into roughly 1/2 cm thick slices. Put in a large saucepan and cover while you make the caramel.
• In a small frying pan melt the wedge of butter and stir in the sugar. Mix well, until the mixture resembles a brown toffee sauce. (Add a little more sugar if it there seems to be left over butter in the pan.)
• Pour this sauce over the apples and leave to stew over a medium heat for approximately 10 minutes or until soft. Remove from the heat and cover until the topping is made.
• To make the topping, cube the butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the flour and muesli and crumble together between your fingers until well mixed, then add the sugar and repeat the process to form fine crumbs.
• Using a slotted spoon to leave most of the juice behind, spoon half of the apple mixture into a baking dish or pudding basin. Spread over a generous layer of toffee sauce/dulce de leche, then top with the remaining apples.
• Cover the apples with about 2/3 of the topping, sprinkle the fudge cubes over ensuring an even coverage, then top with the remaining crumble mix.
• Bake at 180 for approx 30 minutes or until the topping is brown and the apples bubbling.
• Delicious served hot with ice cream.

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch slices. Place apples in a large mixing bowl and toss with sugar, lemon juice, flour, and cinnamon. Pour into a lightly greased 9 by 13-inch baking dish, and spread out into an even layer. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, mix together the nuts, flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently work in the cold butter until pea-sized lumps are formed.
• Top apples evenly with mixture and bake until apples are bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes, rotating once halfway through cooking.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
