Apple Crumble

4 cups peeled and diced apples

1/3 cup flour

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1/2 cup sugar

Dash salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg

 

For the crumble:

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

dash salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 stick cold butter cut into small pieces

1 egg beaten with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla paste

Oven to 375.

Put the apples in a large bowl. Add in the flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix with a spoon to coat. Set aside.

In another bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles crumbs. In a small bowl beat the egg and the vanilla with a fork and add it into the mixture. Stir to incorporate.

Evenly divide the apples into 4 large baking dishes or 8 small ramekins  If you want to make one big apple crumble, pour the apples into an 8x8 inch baking pan. Spread the crumb mixture over the apples and bake 35 - 45 minutes depending on what size baking dish(es) you are using. When a knife slides into the apples easily, you should be good to go! Place on a cooling rack or eat warm!!
