How to Make Apple Crumble Barbados

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon. Pulse to combine.
  3. Add ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and ¼ cup cold lard, cut into cubes. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press about half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  5. Pour the prepared apple filling (see below) over the crumble base.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chilled for a delightful contrast.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
