Fall is right around the corner my friends, and to me those fall flavors just can’t get here soon enough! Apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, and all those glorious smells! Eeeek, I just can’t wait!
I made this fried apple crumble over the weekend and Jeremy just went nuts for it! He is always a sucker for a classic recipe.
Especially desserts. I love to please him but, of course, knowing me I always have to tweak it!
And when you thought fried apples couldn’t get any better!
One of Jeremy’s favorite side dishes to get at Cracker Barrel are the fried apples. And, I always thought, “Hey! I can make those!”
But not only did I make them, I turned them into an all out fall dessert feast! (I’m a little excited about this one, can’t you tell?)
I love apple crumble recipes and this just might be my favorite!
How to Make Apple Crumble?
Fry up your apples in the butter sugar mixture – allowing them to cook for about 10 minutes
Mix together the crumble
Place apples in an oven safe dish then top with the crumble
Bake for 20 minutes and the let cool slightly
Top with ice cream and enjoy!
BTW, my house smelled amazing for hours… score!
As you can see, I left the skin on these apples. This is totally up to you.
It did give the fried apples more texture in the finished dish. If you want more of a soft apple interior, then peel them first. Easy, peasy!
Look at that apple crumble topping! YUM!!
Of course this fried apple crumble is amazing on it’s own.
But, I’m a sucker for that warm gooey dessert with drippy cold ice cream on top. YESSS.
And, just a couple more pecans on top for crunch… optional of course!
Does apple crumble need to be refrigerated?
I recommend storing leftovers in the refrigerator.
Is apple crumble healthy?
Like all desserts this should be eaten in moderation. It is a delicious treat filled with yummy apples!
