APPLE & HAZELNUT CRUMBLE
I tweaked the Magnolia Bakery's recipe for Apple Tart with Hazelnut Brown Sugar topping, to come up with this simple and quick crumble. It is absolutely delicious. I received so many complements that I'm thinking of making it my signature dessert! =) Notes: I use either a 9 or 10 inch round pie dish for this recipe, but you can also use individual ramekins - just remember to shorten the baking time as ramekins are smaller and won't take as long to cook in the oven. Also note that measuring cups are required for this recipe!

Steps:
- Pre heat your oven to 320 degrees fahrenheit or 160 degrees celsius.
- First, make the filling by placing all the ingredients in a large bowl and tossing gently with your fingers until the apple slices are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Now make the topping by mixing the flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add in the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Next, add the hazelnuts to the topping mixture and, using your hands, toss until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Very lightly grease the pie dish with butter. (I like to use a nice glass baking dish). Transfer the apple mixture evenly into the dish. Using your fingers, sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the apples.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. When ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about an hour.

Steps:
- First, make the pastry. Blitz the hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the spelt and plain flours, butter and a good pinch of salt, and blitz again until all of the butter has been incorporated and the mixture is sandy. With the motor running, drizzle in 1-2 tbsp cold water until the dough starts to form in clumps. Squeeze a little between your fingers - if it feels like it will come together, tip the mixture onto your work surface and knead briefly into a ball. Shape into a disc, wrap and chill for 30 mins or overnight.
- If the pastry has been chilled for longer than 30 mins, let it come to room temperature for 20 mins before rolling. Mix the brown sugar, lemon zest, cornflour and maple syrup together in a large bowl. Add the apples and toss well. Set aside while you roll out the pastry.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Dust a sheet of baking parchment large enough to line a large baking tray with flour, then roll the pastry out to a roughly 30cm circle on top of the parchment. The pastry will crack and crumble a little as you roll it, but just keep pushing the edges back together - don't worry if it looks rustic. Slide the pastry on its parchment onto the baking tray. Pile the apple slices into the centre of the pastry circle using your hands, letting any excess syrup drip back into the bowl as you do (save the syrup for later). Be sure to leave a clear 2cm border around the edge. Use the baking parchment to help you lift the edges of the pastry over the apples, leaving the most of the apples exposed. Pinch together any cracks around the edge to make a rustic pastry border.
- Brush the pastry edge with some beaten egg, sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar and scatter over the hazelnuts. Bake for 50-55 mins until golden brown. Meanwhile, pour any leftover syrup from the apples into a small saucepan and bubble for a few minutes until syrupy. When the galette is cooked and still hot, brush the syrup over the top. Leave to cool for at least 30 mins, then serve warm with cold cream. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze in well-wrapped slices for up to two months.

Apple hazelnut crumble is a delicious and comforting dessert that's perfect for fall. With a buttery crumble topping and sweet baked apples, it's a classic recipe that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Experiment with different nuts, spices, and fruit to make this recipe your own, and enjoy the warming flavors of fall.Tip 1: Choose the Right Apples
The type of apples you choose for your crumble can make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your dessert. When it comes to apple crumbles, it's best to use apples that are firm, sweet, and slightly tart. Some of the best apple varieties for crumbles include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. Avoid using apples that are too soft, as they can become mushy when cooked, and avoid using apples that are too sweet, as they can result in an overly sugary crumble.Tip 2: Toast Your Hazelnuts
Toasting your hazelnuts before adding them to your crumble can add an extra layer of flavor and texture to your dessert. Simply spread your hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool down and chop them coarsely for a nice texture.Tip 3: Don't Forget the Crumble Topping
The crumble topping is a crucial part of any crumble recipe. To make a perfect crumble topping, you need to balance the right amount of butter, sugar, and flour. The general rule of thumb is to use equal parts butter, sugar, and flour. However, you can adjust the ratio according to your preference. For a more buttery crumble, use more butter; for a sweeter crumble, use more sugar; for a crunchier crumble, use more flour.Basic Crumble Topping Recipe:
Ingredients:- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
- In a bowl, mix together the flour and brown sugar. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the bowl.
- Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix the butter into the flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
- Add in the chopped hazelnuts and mix well.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple filling.
Tip 4: Precook Your Apple Filling
To ensure that your crumble topping doesn't burn while your apples are still uncooked, it's best to precook your apple filling before adding the crumble topping. Simply toss your sliced apples with some sugar, lemon juice, and spices (such as cinnamon and nutmeg) and cook them over medium heat until they become tender and slightly caramelized. This will also infuse the flavors of your spices into your apples, giving your crumble a more complex flavor.Tip 5: Bake Your Crumble Properly
Baking is the final step to making your apple hazelnut crumble. To ensure that your crumble is baked to perfection, follow these tips:- Bake your crumble in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Place your crumble on the middle rack of your oven to ensure even baking.
- You can cover your crumble with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent the crumble from burning.
- Let your crumble cool down for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to settle and the crumble to crisp up.
