Apple Crumple
Apple Crumple
Yes that’s correct, not Apple Crumble, but Crumple! I thought of making another apple dish as I have an abundance of apples that are screaming, “Cook me!” So, I decided to make a new apple dessert, but something that is not too, too sweet nor too fattening. So here it is: Apple Crumple. I even invented the name so if it starts appearing on the internet you know that CookWoman came up with this first!! It is similar to an apple crisp and apple crumble, but falls somewhere in between, hence the name CRUMPLE. 
It is a spoon dessert, meaning, one would use a spoon to serve and eat it! I used a variety of apples that had lost their crispness and I also used Saigon Cassia Cinnamon from the Spice House. FYI: Before I continue, I have to mention that this was a complimentary bottle of cinnnamon. However it is CookWoman’s (my) policy to never mention or endorse a product unless it meets with my approval. I have to say that this cinnamon is the most flavorful cinnamon that I have ever tasted. Moving on, I pared and sliced the apples and placed them in a deep casserole dish with the other ingredients, covered ti, and simmered them in the microwave on high for about 6 minutes. This really heated them up! Then I dropped the crumple mix (love that word!) on top. How does one descripe a crumple mix? Hmm. It is crumbly yet when I pressed it between my fingers it was like dough. But, if I wiggled it between my fingers, it turned back into a crumbly mix. Odd, but trust me, delicious!! Prepare the crust while the apples are simmering.
Apple Crumple
6 cups sliced apples
1/3 cup sugar (brown and white mixed)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup hot water
Slice the apples and place in a casserole dish. Add the sugar and cinnamon. Pour the water on the top. Cover and microwave on high for 6 minutes.
Crumple Layer
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup unbleached flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. butter
1 egg
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Beat in the butter then add in the egg. It will be very crumply. Pour over the hot apples and bake, uncovered in a 350* oven for about 40 minutes until the crumple layer is cooked.
Even Great on Day 2!
Hi Emily…..Thanks for shopping with me while I was visiting.. Your website is great and I’ve been telling all my friends about it. Just wondering if there is a way to do a quick print of just the recipe–not that I don’t enjoy the stories!!! Aloha, Jeanne
Hi Jeanne, I loved the shopping trip and the fact that you visit my site. I do not have a print widget yet and I am not sure I will be including one. Easiest way to copy is to drag over and highlight the recipe, press CTRL+C and then open a notepad or Word and press CTRL+V and then Print. Sorry, I’d like it to be easier. Thanks for visiting and check back soon for Turkey Day recipes.
