For 4 servings:<\/p>\n
– Flour: 80 grams
\n– Granulated Sugar: 90 grams
\n– Soft Salted Butter: 80 grams
\n– Cinnamon: a pinch
\n– Apples: 4
\n– Milk: 10 cl (approximately 3.5 fluid ounces)<\/p>\n
1. Start by peeling and coring the apples, then chop them into large cubes.<\/p>\n
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with 60 grams of soft butter and 60 grams of granulated sugar to form a sandy dough. Mix in a pinch of cinnamon. Chill this dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Meanwhile, prepare the caramel. In a non-stick skillet, heat 30 grams of granulated sugar until it starts to color. Carefully pour in the milk to avoid splashing, and stir with a wooden spatula to blend the caramel smoothly, then incorporate the salted butter and the apple cubes. Simmer over low heat for about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n
4. Transfer the caramel-coated apples into an oven-proof dish and cover with the crumble dough. Alternatively, you can cook the crumbles directly in oven-safe ramekins. Bake in the oven at 200\u00b0C (approximately 390\u00b0F or gas mark 6-7) for 25 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once baked, distribute the crumble into four ramekins, layering the caramelized apples at the bottom and the crumble mixture on top. Sprinkle each serving with a pinch of cinnamon and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful mix of textures and flavors in this exquisite autumn treat.<\/p>\n\n\n
