Ingredients

Units Scale

Apple Filling

  • 500g (4 cups) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 60ml (4 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 60g (4 tbsp) butter
  • 1.5g (1/4 tsp) sea salt
  • 100g (1/2 jar) salted caramel sauce

Crumble Topping

  • 140g (1 cup) plain flour
  • 80g (1 cup) oats
  • 140g (2/3 cup) brown sugar
  • 140g (2/3 cup) granulated sugar
  • 115g (1/2 cup) cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3g (1/2 tsp) sea salt
  • 50g (1/4 jar) salted caramel sauce

Decoration

  • vanilla ice cream
  • salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C fan / 180°C / 360°F / Gas mark 4
  2. For the Apple Filling: Place a skillet pan, mine is 23cm (9in) wide, on a medium to high heat.
  3. Add the apples, butter and lemon to the pan and cook until the liquid has evaporated, around 5-10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the salted caramel and the sea salt.
  5. For the Crumble Topping: In a mixing bowl, place all the ingredients for the topping and combine them using your fingers. (I used my fingers to prevent the butter from melting).
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, distributing evenly.
  7. Transfer to the oven and allow to cook for 15 minutes.
  8. Take the crumble out of the oven and drizzle the salted caramel sauce and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes
  9. Remove and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the topping has hardened, before serving. 
  10. To Decorate: Serve it with vanilla ice cream and the salted caramel sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don’t have or like oats then feel free to replace with an extra cup of flour.
  • If you don’t have a skillet, cook the apples in a regular frying pan and then transfer to a baking dish once cooked. Top with the crumble topping, cooking time and temperature should remain the same.
  • You can easily divide the filling between mini skillets or individual baking dishes and follow the recipe as is. 
  • Don’t worry if the crumble looks gloopy while cooking in the oven. This is due to its high butter and sugar content. Once out of the oven it will cool and harden. It will have a moreish, chewy crunch to it - trust me!
  • Don’t feel like ice cream? You can have custard instead.
