Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples with grated ginger. Toss gently to ensure the ginger is evenly distributed throughout the apple slices.
- Transfer the apple and ginger mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix chopped walnuts, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and create a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the walnut-oat crumble mixture evenly over the top of the apple layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the crumble to set and makes it easier to portion.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, opt for a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This will create a more complex taste in your crumble.
- Grate Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a vibrant kick to your dish. If you can, avoid the powdered version for a more pronounced flavor.
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to experiment with the crumble topping by adding ingredients like shredded coconut, almonds, or even a dash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Don’t Skip the Cooling Time: Allowing the crumble to cool for about 10 minutes after baking helps it set, making it easier to serve and enhancing the flavors.
- Serve with a Twist: For a gourmet touch, serve your crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can also elevate the dish!
