Spiced Apple & Cardamom Crumble
A rustic classic with a little twist. This Spiced Apple & Cardamom Crumble is pure comfort food - golden, nutty, oaty topping with warm spiced apples underneath. The secret? A pinch of Bart Ground Cardamom - so easy to use and packed with aromatic flavour.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Toss the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, lemon zest, and juice. Spread evenly in a baking dish.
- Make the crumble topping in a bowl, rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar, oats and a pinch of cardamom. Scatter evenly over the apples - don’t press down too hard.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling at the edges.
- For the custard heat the milk (and cream if using) with the vanilla pod (split, seeds scraped in) until steaming but not boiling. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornflour together in a bowl. Slowly pour the hot vanilla infused milk over the yolks, whisking constantly. Return to the pan and cook gently on low heat, stirring, until it coats the back of a spoon. Don’t let it boil. Remove the vanilla pod and keep warm.
