:) Apple Crumble INGREDIENTS: FILLING 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 3 granny smith apples, peeled and cut into cubes 3 medium golden delicious apples, peeled and cut into cubes 2/3 cup sugar a pinch of salt a pinch of cinnamon a pinch of nutmeg TOPPING 1 cup flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup slices almonds 1 cup oats DIRECTIONS: *Pre heat oven to 350F. *In a large bowl, combine cornstarch and lemon juice until the cornstarch dissolves. *Add the apples, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then toss to combine. *Transfer the mixture to individual portioned ramekins (pictured) or to an 8 square baking dish. *Cover tightly with foil. FOR THE TOPPING *Combine the sugar (reserving 1 tablespoon to the side), salt, and flour in a bowl of a blender or food processor. *Drizzle with vanilla extract. Pulse to combine (about 5 1-second pulses). *Add the butter, half the almonds, and half the oats. *Process or blend until the mixture clumps together in large, crumbly balls (about 30 seconds). *Make sure to occasionally scrape the sides of the bowl. *Sprinkle remaining almonds and oats and combine with two or three quick pulses. *Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer. *Bake the topping in the middle rack and the apples on the bottom rack for about 20 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and firm (about 20 minutes). *Remove both from the oven. *Remove the foil from the filling and gently stir. *Lift up the crumble from the baking sheet by the parchment paper, and still grasping the paper carefully slide pieces into the filling evenly (or if that doesnt work, use a spatula or large spoon). *Bake the mixture in the oven for about 20 - 25 minutes, or until the apple is tender and bubbling around the edges. *Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. *Serve as is, or with custard. *Enjoy!
