Autumn is in the air and the weather keeps me inside. Bring on the warm dishes for couch potato evenings with friends. Got them apples? Well, I had some! And this is what you can bake in just a few minutes: Apple crumble!

If I have a food overload, I just invite friends over to help me eat it all. I had some apples and was kinda fed up making something with it again. I’ve juiced them, made a stew with red cabbage and even ate it with awesome hummus.

Last week we received an 18 year old Glenfiddich Scottish Whisky as a gift and was very curious about the taste. I’m not a whisky drinker yet, but am very keen to make something to eat with it. I heard that the combination whisky and pure chocolate is very good, but made something different instead. With stuff I had at home, like them apples.

I’ve used a pie dish with a diameter of 29cm for the crumble. I filled it with 5 apples, which I’ve peeled and cut into cubes of the same size and pressed the juice of one orange over it.

Threw a crumble topping over the apples out of 125 grams of cold butter, 250 grams of spelt flour, 75grams of sugar and a pinch of salt. The basic crumble recipe is the same amount of butter and sugar, and twice as much flour. Since I don’t like my crumble too sweet and the apples were kinda sweet too I added less sugar.

If you like the orange flavour you can mix orange zest into the crumble or add some grated almonds to it!

Heat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the pie until the crumble is brown and crusty and the apple soft in about 25-30 minutes. It actually depends on your oven… Just have a look so now and then.

Serve the warm crumble with a scoop of your favourite vanilla ice-cream and a glass of whisky aside. Some call this dish “cellulite”, but I rather see it as something divine. Enjoy!
