Ingredients for Apple Hazelnut Crumble

  • Tart Green Apples
  • Caster Sugar
  • Plain White Flour
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped

How to Make Apple Hazelnut Crumble

  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until evenly coated. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the apples to soften slightly.
  3. While the apples are resting, prepare the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and brown sugar.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch pie dish (or individual ramekins – adjust baking time accordingly).
  7. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared dish.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  9. Place the dish on a baking sheet (to catch any spills) and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
