Eric’s Go-To Holiday Dish!

Yields8 Servings
Prep Time30 minsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr 30 mins
Apple Mixture
 5 Large Apples (Mix of Granny Smith and Macintosh)
 ¼ cup Lemon Juice
 ¼ cup Spiced Rum (Bacardi) or Bourbon Whisky (Maker’s Mark)
 ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
 1.50 tsp Ground Cardamom
 0.50 tsp Ground Nutmeg
 0.50 tsp Ground Allspice
"Crumble"
 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
 0.50 cup Granulated Sugar
 0.50 cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
 1.50 sticks Unsalted Butter, Diced into small 1/4 inch cubes
 1 tbsp Cinnamon
 1 pinch Salt
Apple Mixture
1

In a bowl, peel, core and chop (about 1 inch pieces) Apples, tossing in Lemon Juice as you go.

2

Add remaining ingredients into bowl and mix thoroughly.

"Crumble"
3

In a separate bowl (or food processor), combine Flour, Sugar, Butter*, Cinnamon and Salt. Mix with a masher or hands (or pulse in processor) until mixture is a sandy texture.**

*Make sure butter is cold before mixing. I dice the butter straight from the refrigerator, then let chill again for 5-10 minutes.
**Humidity can effect the mixture’s consistency. If the mixture is becoming doughy add equal parts flour and granulated sugar one tbsp at a time.

Put it Together
4

In a glass or ceramic baking dish (about 9 inches), dump the apple mixture in. Gently shake until mixture settles evenly.

5

Carefully pour sandy crumble on top a little a time, gently shaking dish a little each time so the mixture settles into crakes. DO NOT MIX.

When all crumble is on top of apple mixture, press down to create a firm and flat top.

Note: It’s ok if some apples poke through. Apples vary in size, so if you don’t believe you have enough crumble to cover apples remove some apple from dish.

6

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes covered, 20 minutes uncovered (or until golden brown). Be sure to rotate dish in oven about halfway, or when uncovering.
