The surprising ingredient that makes Adam Liaw’s apple crumble stand out
It might be a grown-up apple crumble but it will bring out the big kid in all of us.
Ingredients
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
50g sugar
¾ cup red wine
1 cinnamon stick
vanilla ice-cream, to serve
CRUMBLE
175g butter, cubed
150g soft brown sugar
100g rolled oats
150g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp flake salt
Method
Step 1
Heat your oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). Combine the apple wedges with the sugar, red wine, cinnamon stick and about ½ a cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat and heat for about 10 minutes, until the apples are warm and slightly softened. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking dish that will fit the apples in a thick layer. Simmer the red wine mixture for about 10 minutes until reduced to a syrup and pour the syrup over the apples.
Step 2
Combine all the ingredients for the crumble and rub together with your hands until the mix resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Cover the apples with the crumble mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes and serve with ice-cream.
Adam’s tip: You can make the crumble ahead of time, but I prefer to bake it so it’s served fresh out of the oven and still warm.
