Ingredients to make the Mini Apple & Cinnamon Crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Have ready 4 ramekins and a large baking tray.
  2. Peel and dice the apples – For these little pots, I like to dice the apples small. These are about 1 inch pieces. Roughly. Place the apple pieces in a bowl and sprinkle over the cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Coat completely.
  3. Cook apples – Melt one tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet set over medium heat. Add the apples and give a good stir. Cook between 8 – 10 minutes until they are soft and lightly golden. Remove from heat.
  4. Make crumble topping – In a medium bowl, combine the flour, remaining butter and sugar. Press together with your fingers until you have a fine crumb mixture.
  5. Fill ramekins and bake – Evenly fill the ramekins with apples and top with crumb mixture. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden and apples have cooked all the way through.
  6. Serve – Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips For The Apple Crumble

  • Cut the apples evenly – to ensure even cooking, make sure you cut your apples pretty much the same size. And don’t slice them too thin or the crumble will end up being mushy.
  • Don’t over mix the crumble mixture – the idea is to have a crumbly topping. If you over mix, you will end up with a pastry like consistency.
  • Place ramekins on a baking tray – this is the easiest way to get the crumbles into an oven. Don’t try to place them individually onto the rack in the oven.
  • Prepare in advance – you can put these together early in the day and bake later in the evening. Just keep them covered in the fridge until you bake them.
  • How to store leftover crumble – cover it completely and store it in the fridge up to 5 days.
  • How to reheat leftover apple crumble – reheat it in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Can I add Any Additional Flavours or Make Any substitutions

  • Make it a crisp – by adding 1/2 oats and 1/2 flour to the topping you are essentially making it a crisp not a crumble.
  • Add nuts – you can choose to add pecans, almonds or walnuts the topping for extra flavour and texture.
  • Spices – You can add a little nutmeg or allspice to the apples for a richer flavour.

    • Hi Sally, I’ve had the ramekins for years and years and I can’t even remember where they came from. My husband got them for me one year at least 10 years ago. Sorry for the lack of help!
