Directions

For the apples

  • Peel, core, and chop or dice apples.
  • Melt the butter, add in all the dry spices, sugar and whisk together.
  • Once all incorporated add apples, stir, and cook for 10 minutes on low heat or until all apples are soft.
  • Make a slurry with the water, starch and pour over until slightly thickened.
  • Let it cook for 2 minutes while constantly stirring.

For the crumble:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour and the rest of the dried ingredients.
  • Melt unsalted butter and pour over. Add vanilla extract.
  • Using a spatula combine the ingredients. At this point you should have large and small crumbles.
  • Pour on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 for 10 minutes or golden brown.

Assemble: (In Jar)

  • To the jar, add a layer of crumble on the bottom, then a layer of whipped cream (optional), and finally apple filling and repeat until filled to the top.

Notes:

  • It is best if served warm. With a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
