A delightful twist on a classic dessert, this Cinnamon Apple Crumble Delight combines tender apples with a buttery, cinnamon-infused crumble topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then arrange them evenly in a lightly greased baking dish.
Cut the apples into uniform slices for even baking.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices.
Adjust the cinnamon to your taste preference.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar for the crumble topping.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even texture.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a better crumbly texture.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar and hot water to create the syrup.
Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Drizzle half of the syrup over the apples in the baking dish.
Ensure the syrup is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Press the topping gently to adhere it to the apples.
Pour the remaining syrup over the crumble topping.
This step adds extra moisture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Check halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cinnamon Apple Crumble Delight!
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
