Cinnamon and Apples Crumble

Hi all,

The recipe today is a simple apples and cinnamon crumble. It's very tasty and easy to do. This recipe is tasty alone, and even better with vanilla ice cream !

Follow these simple steps to make this easy cake !

For this crumble, you will need:

• 5 big apples
• 100 gr of flour
• grounded cinnamon
• 80 + 30 gr of butter
• 80 gr of sugar
• one bag of vanilla sugar

In a large bowl, put 100 gr of flour and 80 gr of sugar. Add also about 1/2 tablespoon of grounded cinnamon.

Measure 80 gr of butter and cut it in small slices in the bowl. Wait a couple of minutes to let the butter to heat up a bit at room temperature.

Now we will make the crumbs. With your hands, "crumble" the ingredients with the tip of your fingers. After a couple of minutes, you should start to have a "sand" texture like the pictures. Take the bigger bits of dough and crumble them with your finger. It's easy ! Just don't press on the dough - we don't want something compact !-. Just use the tip of your finger to get this sand texture.

Put the dough bowl into the fridge while working on the apples.

Ok, start peeling some beautiful apples. In my case, I took about 5 big apples.

Cut them in four, remove the seeds, and cut them again in small slices.

We will bake them a bit in a pan before the main baking in the oven. Some recipes doesn't bake them (the apples are raw before final oven baking). I prefer this, as the result is smoother...!

Put 30 gr of butter in a large pan. Once the butter is melted, add the apples slices. Bake them for about 6-10 minutes. Carefully stir them with a wooden spoon (I don't want to scratch my pan !). At mid-baking, add one bag of vanilla sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Stop baking once you have transparent edges on the apples.

In a large mold, put the apples and the juice (completely empty the pan). With the spoon, level the apple layer to have a flat surface.

Spread the dough on it. Try to cover all the apples !

Once done, put the mold in the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes at 170°C. Stop baking when the dough starts to become brown.

Here we are, a very tasty crumble cake. If you want to make it tastier, add some vanilla ice-cream with it !

You can eat it hot, or let it cool. The better is to have the mid-warm crumble and the ice-cream... It's incredible !

Thanks for reading !
