Pampered Chef Apple Crumble

Pampered Chef Apple Crumble mixes up easily. It’s a quick fix for dessert… and for breakfast too! Though the Apple Crumble Recipe is meant to have a harsh flavor, it can be changed depending on the person’s taste. Some people claimed they cut out the spices in the recipe and it tastes good when they have used honey instead of sugar.

Perfect Apple Crumble

Although I adore apple pie, I don’t enjoy creating the crust. I think apple crumble is even better and a thousand times simpler to create. Any day over a flaky crust, I’ll pick a rich, buttery cinnamon-pecan crumble. Here are all the solutions to your baking-related queries.

Do the apples need to be peeled?

No! In fact, I would rather not. It’s not worth the trouble because the skin doesn’t greatly influence the taste or even the texture. Additionally, especially if you use apples with a pinkish tinge, they look stunning.

What sort of apples ought I to use?

It works well with crisp, slightly tart kinds. The most apparent option is Granny Smith, and it would be great here. Mutsu is my particular fave. Visit the farmer’s market to look for it! Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, and Jonagold are other fantastic choices.

Is cold butter preferable to melted, softened, or both?

It’s just not essential here, even though we always insist on using cold butter in our ideal pie crust (and even in my apple crisp!). We don’t want you to be a flake! It is easiest to combine all the ingredients for the crumble with melted butter. Pecans also provide a lovely crunchy contrast to the butter and brown sugar mixture, which is quite crumbly and slightly sandy.

In ramekins like in the picture, how should I bake the crumble?

Making the recipe your own is simple if you want to serve your dinner guests individual apple crumbles. Prepare the apples and crumble according to the recipe’s directions; then, divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins and place the ramekins on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Can I make the crumble in advance?

Absolutely! Instead of pouring the dry crumble on top of the fruit if you want to prepare the day before, we suggest covering the bowl and baking dish with plastic wrap and storing in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. Alternately, you could just prepare the entire dish and reheat it the next day at 325 degrees until the apple is boiling.

What about the replacement of ingredients?

Simply by changing the fruit, you may turn this recipe into a peach or a pear crumble. Having a tree nut allergy? Replace the pecans with peanuts, shelled sunflower seeds, or just omit them altogether.

Cinnamon Apple Crumble

The best fall dessert is cinnamon apple crumble, which combines luscious, soft apples with a delicious cinnamon crumb topping. With vanilla ice cream, serve warm!

I just want to bake, bake, bake now that fall is in the air! My personal favorite time of year to bake is in the fall because I enjoy cozying up the house and making something delicious to share with loved ones.

I will admit, though, that I don’t much enjoy baking pies. Pie is not my preferred dessert, and I dislike finicky pie crust. Who am I, I do know? Having said that, I do enjoy a good crumble, and this Cinnamon Apple Crumble is ideal for autumn. It is SO DELICIOUS and SO simple to make (so much simpler than creating pie dough).

They lick their plates clean every time I serve this apple crumble to friends and family, and they always ask for the recipe. It’s a traditional autumnal treat that everyone adores.

All you need are fresh apples to make this dish; the rest are standard baking ingredients. Let’s start now!

Apples to Use: Best

My favorite fall apple is the honeycrisp kind, which is also excellent for baking. They have a crisp, sweet, and slight tangy flavor. Apples used for baking are most frequently Granny Smith varieties. They are simple to locate and durable in the oven. The sweet cinnamon crumble topping pairs beautifully with the sour, tangy flavor.

Apples like the Jonagold, Braeburn, Pink Lady, and Jazz are also excellent choices. Apples can be mixed, if you choose.

Pick solid, fresh apples that are not bruised. Apples for the crumble should be peeled, cored, and sliced.

Atop the Crumble

This recipe is my favorite because it calls for a LOT of crumble topping. I’ve seen apple crumble recipes where the topping is only lightly dusted on top, and that is not acceptable. If I wanted an apple, I would eat an apple; it’s a dessert, ha!

The crumble topping, which is composed of flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and butter, completely encases the apples. Pecans or walnuts would be excellent crunchy additions if you wish to add nuts.

How to Make Apples Fall Apart

Make the apple filling first. Combine the lemon juice, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and flour with the apple pieces.

Put together the crumble topping. Use only COLD butter, please. Using your fingers, combine the topping ingredients with the butter until the mixture resembles crumbles. You want the mixture to remain cold and have clumps of crumble the size of peas, so don’t overwork it.

Assemble. Put the apple mixture in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan or a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Both pots are functional.

till bubbling, bake. The aroma in your home will surpass that of any available fall candle.

The best way to enjoy apple crumble is to serve it warm with vanilla ice cream.

Plan ahead

I adore this dish since it can be prepared in advance, making it ideal for Christmas or simple entertaining as well as Thanksgiving.

Place the crumble in the pan, cover with foil, and chill until you’re ready to bake (up to 24 hours).

You can prepare simply the crumble topping and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours if you don’t want to prepare the complete apple crumble in advance.

How to Keep

Apple crumble leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three days. Before serving, I advise warming in the microwave. Pro tip: It also makes a fantastic breakfast!

Apple crumble won’t keep well in the freezer since the apples and topping will get mushy.
