We advise that you prepare all the above ingredients before starting.
You will typically need: a scale, measuring cups, mixing bowls.
Crumble Topping
1 - Add all ingredients to a food processor, making sure the butter is cold.
Tip: Here, we are using the excellent Breville Sous Chef food processor.
2 - Then, pulse a few times to combine and reach a breadcrumb consistency.
3 - Finally, transfer the crumble to a food container and set aside in the fridge.
Caramelized Apples Filling
1 - Using a speed peeler, peel the apples before chopping into cubes, discarding the cores.
Tip: We recommend you use a chef's knife for this task. We love Japanese knives and recommend this quality kit from GLOBAL for home and professional chefs. We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.
2 - Transfer the apples to a large bowl. Then, zest in the lemon using a microplane zester.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
3 - Roll the lemon on the cutting board, exercising a small pressure. This will help you squeeze out more juice from them. Then, cut them in half and squeeze them over the apples.
4 - Transfer the apples in a deep saucepan (or like us a saucier pan), then add the water, xylitol, and cinnamon. Finally, give everything a mix to coat the apples.
Tip: All-Clad is the gold standard for professional quality stainless steel cookware. If you want to learn more about All-Clad, check out our detailed article "The Ultimate Buyer's Guide To All-Clad".
5 - Place the saucepan on medium heat and allow everything to cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time with a silicone spatula.
Assembling the Crumble
1 - Preheat the oven to 340℉ (170℃).
2 - To a cast-iron dish, pour in the caramelized apples and spread them evenly.
3 - Then, sprinkle over the crumble topping to cover all the apples. Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
4 - Once baked, allow the crumble to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
5 - Enjoy!
