Only some parts of Canada do bagged milk my friend. Here just across the water from Toronto, sometimes school lunches have bagged milk; depending on the school district. Bagged milk might be closer to you than you think. Goodness I sound like an after school special. ❤❤❤
Volunteer at a food pantry and I brought home a bunch of reject apples that were over ripe, a little bruised and a mix of different varieties. Apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and a little vanilla and salt with the apples. Oatmeal, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and a little salt for the topping. Turned out great.
I sadly haven’t been able to bring myself to watch your videos since August when my mum passed, we would watch them together so they have been making me feel sick now hopefully I’ll be able to watch them again soon as you do some really lovely recipes.
I just made an apple crisp to have on US Thanksgiving. I made it vegan because my grandson is allergic to dairy & eggs and no nuts cuz he can't have them either. Used vegan butter, brown sugar, some flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, lemon juice, oats, and 4 pink lady apples & 2 honeycrisp. Topped with coconut whipped cream. Pretty basic, but delicious! Now that I have some leftovers at home, real whipped cream. So much better!
I tell myself I have healthy oatmeal for breakfast but it's really an apple crumble. Oatmeal apples walnuts raisins water in the microwave for a few minutes. So far healthy But then the glug of maple syrup.
Yummmmmy. That looks so good! When I make mine, I'll add nuts to the crisp/crumble topping. Love the crunchy contrast to the apples. And yes to ice cream with.
I like to put cranberries in mine sometimes to mix up the flavors. This looks great. Got some apples I peeled and sliced and put in the freezer, might make this later.
My English mom would cut up Granny Smith apples, mix them with a can of Lyle's Golden Syrup, plop that in an oven dish. Then she would make a basic short bread with just flour, sugar, and butter and crumble that on top. Bake until golden and bubbly. Serve with cream. The best thing ever. My dad is from Texas and we used to call this Snobby Cobbler. I swear. Only in Canadialand would anyone have a gallon of maple syrup in the frig. :)
::American cautiously raises her hand:: My brother-in-law taps the trees on their farm in IL every year. So, yeah, I get a gallon every now and then. I use it primarily when making granola. I probably don't go through it as fast as the average Canadian though. 😉
Seeing this makes me long for the apple crisp and cherry crumble the school cooks made (from scratch!) when I was in school many, many decades ago. I need more friends who like this kind of dessert so I can make one. Alas, my friends tend to be cake and cream pie lovers. 😅
Our school cooks made an awesome apple crisp, too. I'd enjoy one with you if I could. I have a big soft spot for "our lunch ladies", as do most of my former fellow students. Most of what they made was pretty darn good. It's a well known, longstanding joke to poke fun at school cafeteria food. However, an alumni of my smaller school (same campus K-12) whose grandma was one of those lunch ladies, inherited all of the recipes and compiled a recipe book of many of the things we remembered. The first batch of 300 sold out the day after it was announced that they would soon be printed, and subsequent printings sold out for some time. I'm not sure how many were eventually sold, but I've still got mine! :)
Very similar to my mother's recipe. She used brown sugar instead of maple syrup and Applejack instead of Acerum. She would also flambe the crumble on top after taking it out of the oven.
I prefer HoneyCrisp because they will always give you the best flavor even if they are looking rough. You could just melt the butter and mix the crumble together with just a spoon. Looks good 👍
Nearly always use Bramleys for cooking - habit&tradition. So as they're quite sour usually give a sprinling of sugar. And in a crumble, if I remember, some nutmeg (tho that can got in the crumble itself of course!)
i made apple crisp today and instead of putting it in the oven I cooked it on top of the wood stove. Never tried that before and it turned out alright!
I make stuff like this all the time because I always end up with a surplus of apples from my job (free meal, apple as a side, finds itself in my fruit bowl with all of the other forgotten ones). Really, it's just my excuse to shove copious amounts of candied ginger into my mouth, but don't tell anyone. Love you guys! 😋
Good one you for buying what most supermarkets reject. When produce is cheap buy loads and get your recipe books out and stock up your freezer. Love apple crumble, but what with the cream OR ice cream, I’ll have both 😁😁😁
I imagine you could replace the cinnamon and ginger in the topping with pumpkin spice mix since it contains both anyhow and adds a little something extra.
I learned at university to write things down when you were experimenting, and I carried this into the kitchen. I'd start with a cookbook or other written recipe and I'd make some notes. Subsequent versions of the dish- "you know, this could do with more garlic"- would be noted. I was always afraid that I might stumble onto what, for me, would be the "ultimate" improvement to the recipe and I'd forget what changes I'd made to the original! If you're looking for recipes to use your apples, Glen, you could always go savoury/main meal. The dish they eat in Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia called rojak immediately popped into my mind. You won't get the local ingredients there, but you can use what's available. Roast up some chopped carrot, sweet potato, parsnip, and other root vegetables and let them cool to either room or body temperature. Add in your chopped apples raw- and maybe some canned pineapple chunks, stir in a rojak-style sauce blend and top with roasted peanuts.
A tablespoon or two of apple butter is nice mixed in with the apples. Being in the UK I use Bramleys - a cooker and an eater or selection of - Cox’s Orange Pippin , Pink Lady or Braeburn. I’ll have to try maple syrup. My Mother used cloves which I disliked . It’s cinnamon all the way for me. I’d use double the butter in the crumble topping but less sugar/maple in with the apples. I like it a bit sour . But you can’t go wrong . Make it how you like it . Cream, custard or ice cream with it is a must.
Glen, you couldn't have timed this posting better. I also have a glut of apples to use up. Today, I made a smaller version of this and it was delicious!
I love a good crisp/crumble! I've never pre-cooked the apples though. Now I'm curious! Like you I tend to wing the spices depending on my mood (cinnamon is the only constant). Every year around US Thanksgiving I make apple-cranberry crisp. I do the topping in the food processor as well, but I put in only half the oats and stir the rest in later to keep some whole oat pieces in the topping. I usually stir some walnut or pecan pieces into it at the same time. Whether I add any sugar to the apples depends on what kind I'm using. I used Stayman for the last batch, which I don't think need sugar, but I usually will add some if I'm using Granny Smith or another very tart apple. I didn't have any crystallized ginger in the house (!!!) this year, so I used powdered. It was still delicious. I agree that it's one of those things that's really hard to mess up--everyone go for it!
Love me some apple crumble crisp! My Mom used to add raisins and pecans to the apples and needless to say no matter what ingredients she used we cleaned to pan!! Thanks for the recipe.
the topping I have been making has a much higher ratio of oats and butter. almost like an oatmeal cookie on top (minus the eggs). filling is pretty similar except lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar as the acid. I really like that tart lemon flavor. I will try pan frying the apples next time for sure tho. oh, I also drop the apples into a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice while I'm peeling everything and then when I'm done I turn the apple/lemon water into lemonade. I started making this over the summer so lemonade was a perfect little extra treat on the side.
My step daughter made this, she made it with all sweet apples, I then took the recipe and made it, but I use 2/3 sour apples an 1/3 sweet apples, the reason I did this is to bring down the sweetens of the topping, she an her mother love it,
I live in NY State where we grow many apples, like Cortland (for the soft applesauce feel and delicious taste), Jazz (may come from Peru?) which are hard and very sweet, and Fuji, Snapdragon, and Honey Crisp, all hard and sweet and add a nice blend of flavors. I would also add raisins, some kind of sugar, some nuts, in the crumble. Cinnamon. Your other suggestions sounded interesting too. Love anything with apples. Thanks, Glen. - Marilyn
One of my "secret ingredients" for apple crumble is black pepper, just a bit, not so it tastes of pepper but there's a background warmth. I also sometimes put in a tin of carnation caramel (can buy condensed milk and boil it yourself) in the UK we have evaporated milk and condensed milk, evaporated isn't as sweet, condensed is almost like melted white chocolate and very sweet
The canned milks are the same in the US. I think everyone confuses the two while cooking at least once. At least I did with a pot of potato soup. Lesson learned, LOL Black pepper? Hmm? I can see how that would work. Thank you for that.
That looks so good to this newly diagnosed diabetic. Our Apple crumbles are simpler in terms of ingredients. I only ever used flour, butter and sugar for the toppings although oats are added by my SiL. I love the fact that you have a store that sells what I would know as seconds…….brilliant and contributing to the reduction of food waste. Question: what is the contraption you are using for your whipped cream? I have never seen anything like it. How does it work?
we have a local chain that calls their discount produce "Perfectly Imperfect." I love apple pie, but I'm the only one in the household who does. So it's easiest for me to make a small dish of apple crisp any time I want it.
Sometimes I add some boiled cider in with the apples, sometimes maple syrup if the apples were not real sweet. I make a crisp topping using gingersnap cookie crumbs with the other usual stuff including the oats.
Not a huge fan of cooked apples, I've tried many other fruits including peaches, bananas and pears, but my absolute favourite is pineapples. My topping is made from flour, brown sugar, salt, oats, vanilla and melted butter, and I make it lumpy instead of crumbly. I sometimes add cinnamon, or sometimes cocoa powder and chopped chocolate (learnt this from Bigger Bolder Baking). I often make a tiny serving for myself with one banana or peach in a 3.5" square glass dish. It makes a wonderful late night snack.
I made an apple crisp last week. My roommate doesn't understand apple crisp, so she wouldn't eat any. She kept asking why there was no crust for my pie. She would have bought a pie crust if I asked. No matter how I explained it She wouldn't understand.
that's why it's apple crisp and not apple pie. roommate has rigid ideas she refuses to try to open her mind to different possibilities. i've known too many of those types and i don't even try to help them understand now. it's an exercise in frustration
I've used lots of apples in various ratios over the years and I finally just gave up and just use Honeycrisp for crisp or pies. I like a bit of white sugar, cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg. The topping is oats, brown sugar and some GF flour.
In Limburg (a region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany) there is a pie version that is 100% crumble. Although nowadays it's usually filled with either apple or a custard.
Being from the south Central of the United States I take my bounty and add pecans to my crumble topping, but I also have the influence of the southwest, so I also put pumpkin seeds in my crumble topping. I was those up in my food processor just about like what you had for the basic recipe. Pretty dang good.
Haven't made apple crisp in a long time, but my husband and I had a conversation about which apples to get for cheesy apples. He got Fugi and we both could tell the difference from Red Delicious, and completely different than Granny Smith. I don't remember which ones a friend tried and then complained that I had given her a deficient recipe. Told her to try with sweet apples. I'm thinking about doing what I do for pumpkin dump cake with apples in the crockpot? Duncan Hines cake mix with chopped pecans mixed in, and butter on top? My coffee and thyroid pill hasn't kicked in yet so I hope that makes sense 😂.
My family's crisp doesn't have the flour.. just the oats.. half in before processing, half after, just mixed in..just like you said, keeping the texture of the oats. I always wanted more topping too.
Don't have an apple story, how about a cherry story? For the first years of their marriage, my dad would say, "Sure wish someone would make a cherry cobbler one of these holidays". Mom would proudly make a cherry crisp and wait for the compliments, which never came. Mom told me it went on for an embarrassing number of years before they figured it out. Mom's family came to Ohio from Virginia by way of Tennessee, and dad's family came from New England. I guess that somewhere along the line some terminology got turned around. Your crisp/crumble comment made me think of that for the first time in years.
I use the recipe in my 1963 Pillsbury Cookbook, but I double the topping and reverse the amount of flour to oats. I use whatever apples are in the fridge that need using up.
Mine is very simple. I've found some versions to be way too sickly sweet so I only add a little sugar to the apples and cut down on the sugar in the topping. I don't use brown sugar, oatmeal, cranberries or nuts so it doesn't distract from the apples or topping.
Dietitians are always telling us to eat health with more whole grains and fruits. You’ve apple crumble MUST be health. It’s full of apples and oates. Yum!!!
Does the acerum burning actually does anything or it's just for show? As in, if you had put acerum but just let the alcohol evaporate, would it taste different?
Glen i always freeze my ginger . When adding ginger to a recipe it's a lot easier to just use the rasp . It comes out flaky and dissappears in the mix.
Glenn always defiantly Canadian with his bagged milk and gigantic growlers of maple syrup.
. . . "gigantic growlers of" backyard cooked down maple syrup. In other words, Glenn's homemade maple syrup. There is nothing in a store to compare. 🍁
Only some parts of Canada do bagged milk my friend. Here just across the water from Toronto, sometimes school lunches have bagged milk; depending on the school district. Bagged milk might be closer to you than you think. Goodness I sound like an after school special. ❤❤❤
"Even if you fail, it will still be fantastic."
If Glen ever makes his own cookbook, this needs to be the title.
Yes, he needs to come out with his own cookbook. Although with all his projects I don't think he will have any time.
Mmm... Next time I'll put peach schnapps in my peach crisp!!
Peach crisp?? Never made it, never heard of it but...Oh My! Thanks for that. :)

I’m sorry for your loss. The feelings are understandable.

When I make mine, I'll add nuts to the crisp/crumble topping. Love the crunchy contrast to the apples. And yes to ice cream with.
Oh yeah. And I've been experimenting with a blend of almond and all purpose flour
I like to put cranberries in mine sometimes to mix up the flavors. This looks great. Got some apples I peeled and sliced and put in the freezer, might make this later.
Raisins would be good too. Or maybe pear and fresh cranberries.
So many possibilities for a fruit crumble.
Yum!!!
My family has always tended to use raisins and/or cranberries (both), and for that bit of acidity used a little lemon juice instead of vinegar.
My mother always does blackberries.
Yes! A gallon of maple syrup.yum
I'll be right over 😂. It must be great. Glen dances twice!

I know he taps his own but I gasp at the size? 🤣
Seeing this makes me long for the apple crisp and cherry crumble the school cooks made (from scratch!) when I was in school many, many decades ago. I need more friends who like this kind of dessert so I can make one. Alas, my friends tend to be cake and cream pie lovers. 😅
There's only the 2 of us. I'm learning to use smaller pans and less amounts of the ingredients. Like what Glen does with his 6 inch cakes
Our school cooks made an awesome apple crisp, too. I'd enjoy one with you if I could. I have a big soft spot for "our lunch ladies", as do most of my former fellow students. Most of what they made was pretty darn good.
It's a well known, longstanding joke to poke fun at school cafeteria food. However, an alumni of my smaller school (same campus K-12) whose grandma was one of those lunch ladies, inherited all of the recipes and compiled a recipe book of many of the things we remembered.

I'm not sure how many were eventually sold, but I've still got mine! :)
This is how I call these
Crumble = Streusel(sugar, butter, flour) topping
Crisp = Crumble + Oats
Cobbler = pie crust / batter topping
Apples + maple syrup = happiness.
I like a 4:1 ratio of apples to topping.
I have ALL the ingredients ! And had a craving for apple crumble! 😂
Apple Brown Betty!❤
@@allonszenfantsjones brown Betty I have used toasted bread cubes. Never made it cause I like oatmeal
I came looking for this comment before making my own. Any apples we could get our hands on.
I think you said in another video that the bag of imperfect apples were Fuji apples 😂❤
Very similar to my mother's recipe. She used brown sugar instead of maple syrup and Applejack instead of Acerum. She would also flambe the crumble on top after taking it out of the oven.
I prefer HoneyCrisp because they will always give you the best flavor even if they are looking rough. You could just melt the butter and mix the crumble together with just a spoon. Looks good 👍
I usually add crushed walnuts to the crumble mix.
Apple season demands the best, and this one looks delicious.
small handful if cinnamon red hot candies.. nice light pink color & zing
That huge bottle of maple syrup! Can’t remember when last I had apple crumble, but I know there’s one going to grace the table soon
Good morning! I reached out to retrieve that first piece of apple that popped out of the pan. 😊 My ooops! 😮
😆
I always add pecans or walnuts, from my frozen stash of nuts.
Nearly always use Bramleys for cooking - habit&tradition. So as they're quite sour usually give a sprinling of sugar. And in a crumble, if I remember, some nutmeg (tho that can got in the crumble itself of course!)
Yum. It looks like it tastes like Fall. Simple ingredients and technique, but an amazing satisfying outcome. Thanks.
I'm going to make some for my boyfriend: spy and macintosh apples, brown sugar and oats and nutmeg and cinnamon and ginger topping. cannot wait!
That looks so good. I love apple crisp!! Thanks for reminding me of it. I have to make some now 😋
i made apple crisp today and instead of putting it in the oven I cooked it on top of the wood stove. Never tried that before and it turned out alright!
definitely needs more apple
I make stuff like this all the time because I always end up with a surplus of apples from my job (free meal, apple as a side, finds itself in my fruit bowl with all of the other forgotten ones). Really, it's just my excuse to shove copious amounts of candied ginger into my mouth, but don't tell anyone. Love you guys! 😋
Crimble crumble!
I’m with Julie, into the topping….though I would add toasted pecans, you know - for the protein of course.😋
I never thought about starting my apple crumble on the stove. I will have to try this technique. Also I love pecans in my crumble topping.
love your videos man, keep it up!
Bramley apples for crumble, along with broken up cornflakes mixed in with the topping
Good one you for buying what most supermarkets reject. When produce is cheap buy loads and get your recipe books out and stock up your freezer. Love apple crumble, but what with the cream OR ice cream, I’ll have both 😁😁😁

I was always afraid that I might stumble onto what, for me, would be the "ultimate" improvement to the recipe and I'd forget what changes I'd made to the original!
If you're looking for recipes to use your apples, Glen, you could always go savoury/main meal. The dish they eat in Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia called rojak immediately popped into my mind. You won't get the local ingredients there, but you can use what's available. Roast up some chopped carrot, sweet potato, parsnip, and other root vegetables and let them cool to either room or body temperature. Add in your chopped apples raw- and maybe some canned pineapple chunks, stir in a rojak-style sauce blend and top with roasted peanuts.
Never heard of acerum but I have some maple whiskey that would go great in this! Thanks for the idea!
Absolutely correct, can't fail🍏
Definitely on my list of “things to make” in the coming weeks. Yum.
A tablespoon or two of apple butter is nice mixed in with the apples. Being in the UK I use Bramleys - a cooker and an eater or selection of - Cox’s Orange Pippin , Pink Lady or Braeburn. I’ll have to try maple syrup. My Mother used cloves which I disliked . It’s cinnamon all the way for me. I’d use double the butter in the crumble topping but less sugar/maple in with the apples.

If he is dancing ----It is good.

I have never seen maple syrup kept in the fridge. Interesting!

Thanks for this. Apple Crisp or Crumble is always better with whipped cream.
That looks so good!

My version has bigger layer of apples, more oatmeal and sometimes walnuts and or raisins. Makes a great breakfast.
Apples are wonderful, and we have a lot of them right now too. This looks tasty and good.
My fillings always differ each time but i always put chopped almonds in the topping because i love the flavour and the crunch
My step daughter made this, she made it with all sweet apples, I then took the recipe and made it, but I use 2/3 sour apples an 1/3 sweet apples, the reason I did this is to bring down the sweetens of the topping, she an her mother love it,

I like to simmer a star anise with the apples and a bit of grated nutmeg to add a warm hint of spice

The canned milks are the same in the US. I think everyone confuses the two while cooking at least once. At least I did with a pot of potato soup. Lesson learned, LOL
Black pepper? Hmm? I can see how that would work. Thank you for that.

I have a family recipe for Apple Peanut Butter Crisp. It’s terrific!
Sounds great
we have a local chain that calls their discount produce "Perfectly Imperfect."

I use an almond granola.

I like to make an apple and rhubarb crisp. Also more of the fruit layer compared to the crumble layer
I sometimes put in strawberries. Sometimes rhubarb. Sometimes whatever extra fruit I have and its now a fruit crumble.
My favorite was to make an apple crumble is to use stale or extra muffins that I want to use up.
I didn't know that "stale or extra muffins that I want to use up" existed,. They don't in my house, lol.
But I take your point. Cheers. :)
My family's crisp doesn't have the flour.. just the oats.. half in before processing, half after, just mixed in..just like you said, keeping the texture of the oats.
I always wanted more topping too.
Our family as well. I've had it with the oat/flour mixture, and I prefer just the oats. Flour sort of "waters down" the flavour of the topping.
I’d have custard with that, strange it doesn’t seem so popular over the pond
Raisins!

Maybe a bit of pumpkin chunks with the apples?
Why baking powder? I plan to make this and enjoy (you had me with the ginger) but have never seen baking powder in a crumble before. 💕🇨🇦
What is a great whipped cream gun or have you tried many?
ISI seems to be the gold standard - I've been using their all stainless for years.
Mine is very simple. I've found some versions to be way too sickly sweet so I only add a little sugar to the apples and cut down on the sugar in the topping. I don't use brown sugar, oatmeal, cranberries or nuts so it doesn't distract from the apples or topping.
I add pecans to the crumble mixture.
Thank you! Of all things, I do not have a Crumble recipe of any kind. Now I do!
I would have this with an aged. sharp cheddar.
Dietitians are always telling us to eat health with more whole grains and fruits. You’ve apple crumble MUST be health. It’s full of apples and oates. Yum!!!
Gotta eat those carbs
Breakfast of champions!
Does the acerum burning actually does anything or it's just for show? As in, if you had put acerum but just let the alcohol evaporate, would it taste different?
What exactly does flambé do in a dish, like this?
You should use some of those apples to make you an apple beer
Glen i always freeze my ginger . When adding ginger to a recipe it's a lot easier to just use the rasp . It comes out flaky and dissappears in the mix.
