Apple Streusel Recipe
"Apple Recipes Online"
6-8 Granny Smith apples
1/2 pound unsalted butter
4-6 tablespoons cinnamon
4 tablespoons nutmeg
3/4 cup sugar
Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Place the apples, butter, sugar and
spices in a large frying pan and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Set aside and
let cool.
The crust:
1 pound unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup whole milk
5 cups all purpose flour
Cream sugar and butter until light in color in a mixing bowl. Add egg yolks and
whole milk and let mix for one minute. Add the flour a little at a time until
all of it is just mixed. Don't over mix. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and
refrigerate for two hours. Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out to 1/4
of an inch thick to fit an 8-10-inch cake pan or a 8 x 10-inch rectangular pan.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture.
The streusel
1/2 pound unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup flour
Cut the butter into small pieces and rub both sugars through the butter with
your fingers until crumbly. Add the flour and mix with a fork until the mixture
resembles large bread crumbs. Sprinkle over the top of the apples and bake at
300 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and bubby. Serve warm with
ice cream and caramel sauce. |
