Cinnamon Apple Crumble with Sweetened Cream

Apples are just as synonymous with Fall as pumpkins, leaves, and Halloween. Caramel apples, bobbing for apples, apple cider.... awesome apple stuff! This time of year you can usually find good deals on apples in the reduced section of the produce department, and when it happened to me a few days ago, I couldn't pass up the bargain of $1 for a bag of 4 jazz apples. I scooped them up and then spent 10 minutes wandering around the grocery store trying to decide what to do with them. Apple crumble finally came to me and I headed home to start my meatloaf dinner that would be deliciously finished up with a warm yummy apple dish! 



Ingredients: 

6 jazz apples (or any tart, sweet apple) peeled and sliced thin
3/4 tsp cinnamon
5 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 orange, juiced
1 tbsp flour
pinch of kosher salt

Crumble:
1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup oats
2/3 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Optional topping:
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large bowl, combine all apple filling ingredients and allow to sit for roughly 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to allow sugar to dissolve and juices to come together. 

In another bowl with a mixer, mix all the crumble ingredients until it is coarse and crumbly. 



Pour apples and all liquid into a baking dish and spread out evenly. By hand, crumble the oat mixture over the top until evenly distributed and mostly covering the apples. 



Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crumble has crisped up and is golden brown like the first picture shown. Rest for approximately 15 minutes before serving. 

For the sweetened cream, stir the powdered sugar and cream together and once the crumble is served, pour a bit of cold cream over the top. This dessert would also be delicious with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
