Maple & balsamic roast apples with cinnamon oat crumble

Indulge in a delightful and flavorful dessert with our Maple & Balsamic Roast Apples with Cinnamon Oat Crumble. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of apples with the rich flavors of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar, all topped with a crunchy cinnamon oat crumble. It's a perfect treat for cozy evenings or a special occasion.

Ingredients:

4 apples
640g
1/2 cup maple syrup
120g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
1 dash salt
1g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1/3 cup oats
30g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2 tbsp almonds
30g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tsp cinnamon
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and core the apples. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on will give a nice texture and added nutrients.
- Slice the apples into evenly sized wedges or chunks, depending on your preference.
3. Maple & Balsamic Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and a dash of salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
4. Roast the Apples:
- Add the apple slices to the maple and balsamic mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Transfer the coated apple slices to a baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- Pour any remaining syrup mixture over the apples.
5. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, all-purpose flour, chopped almonds, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Top the Apples:
- Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon oat crumble over the prepared apples in the baking dish.
7. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp.
8. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Tips:

- Use fresh, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.

- Toast the almonds lightly before mixing them into the crumble for added flavor and crunch.

- Be sure to evenly coat the apples with the maple syrup and balsamic mixture for a balanced taste.

- If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can increase the amount of brown sugar in the crumble topping.

- Keep an eye on the crumble while baking to ensure it doesn’t burn; it should be golden brown and crisp.

- Let the apples cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Enjoy the warm and comforting flavors of Maple & Balsamic Roast Apples with Cinnamon Oat Crumble. This dessert is not only delicious but also easy to prepare. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends with its unique and exquisite taste.
