Apple crumble is a traditional English dessert made from fruit, flour, butter, and sugar. However, we can enjoy the crumble in a saner way thanks to this version with corn.
Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients (for 8 people)
4 organic apples
150 grams of organic corn flour
100 grams of sunflower oil
125 grams of whole cane sugar
40 grams of oat flakes
40 grams of raisins
Zest of an organic lemon
1 vanilla pod
Cinnamon powder
Sea salt
Elaboration
Step 1: Wash and dry one of the apples and pass it through the coarse grater. Then, add a few drops of lemon to prevent the apple from darkening.
Step 2: Next, make a longitudinal cut in the vanilla pod and carefully remove the seeds inside. Heat a pan over low heat with two tablespoons of sugar.
Step 3: Add a tablespoon of sunflower oil, a pinch of cinnamon, and the vanilla seeds. When the sugar begins to caramelize, add the grated apple and cook everything for 4 or 5 minutes.
Step 4: Peel and dice the three remaining apples and add them to the pan along with the lemon zest. Sauté for a couple more minutes, turn off the heat, and reserve.
Step 5: Preheat the oven to 180 °C in a large bowl, mix the corn flour, the rest of the sunflower oil, the oat, or cornflakes until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Step 6: Place the sautéed apple that you have reserved in a container suitable for the oven and distribute the dry dough on top.
Step 7: To finish, bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 180 °C, until the surface is golden.
