Apple crumble FAQ:
Bake the apple crumble in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the oatmeal topping is golden brown and crisp.
The apple pieces should be softened after cooking for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat. They should be tender but not mushy before baking.
Yes, you can substitute the apple with other fruits like pears or berries, but be mindful that different fruits have varying sweetness and cooking times.
Store any leftover apple crumble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
You can substitute stevia with other sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar, adjusting the quantity to taste as they are generally sweeter than stevia.
Tips:
- Choose a firm, tart apple variety like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor contrast.
- If you prefer a sweeter crumble, you can adjust the amount of stevia or use a mix of stevia and honey.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a bit of vanilla extract to the water before cooking the apples.
- Ensure the oatmeal is evenly spread on top to create a uniform, crisp topping.
- Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an added treat.
