Convection Oven Baking time 30 minutes
Preparation time 20 minutes
Serves 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
· Parchment paper lined glass baking dish, 2 quart size
· Two mixing bowls, large and medium
· Measuring cup, measuring spoons
· Wooden or bamboo mixing spoon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. 3 large Gala Organic apples, peeled, cored, roughly medium sliced
2. 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
3. 1 teaspoon each cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
4. 1 Tablespoon corn starch
5. 1 Tablespoon vanilla (vanilla brings out the flavor)
6. ¾ - 1 Cup coarse chopped pecans
7. ¼ Cup dark molasses
8. ¼ Cup all purpose flour
9. ¼ Cup unsalted butter
10. ½ Cup oats, uncooked rolled or quick
Prepare the ingredients all on the counter. Line the glass pan with the parchment paper
Begin by starting your oven to preheat at 400 degrees.
Peel apples…
Quarter them and remove the core…
Cut roughly into medium slices…
Add sugar, corn starch, vanilla and half of the measurement of spices…
Stir with spoon and coat well, mixing till everything is mixed well…set aside.
Taking the pecan halves onto a cutting board, chop with large knife. Keeping the tip of the blade on cutting surface and lifting and placing down the handle edge walking the blade while keeping the tip of the knife down onto the cutting board as you walk the blade over all the pecans to get a even coarse size. Takes but 4 minutes, place into medium bowl.
Add molasses, remaining half of the spices, butter, flour, oats to the pecans. Mix very well by hand.
Place the apple mixture into the parchment lined glass dish. Press down with back of wooden spoon. Evenly place the pecan topping on top, press lightly with the back of the wooden spoon.
Place into convection oven for 20-30 minutes. Sometimes I have found I need to adjust the time with converting the normal times for cooking as the convection oven cooks faster.
Well….we shall see what happens at the normal setting for now and will post the results from this setting. ……crossing fingers!
~~~ ....after 30 minutes...~~~
The crumble is soft from the oven and while cooling becomes firm and crunchy bits of goodness.
So....get your plates ready.....
~~~~ Good eating! ~~~
Try your own versions.....Raisins in with the apples
Generously piled with whipped cream
Scoop of Natural Vanilla Ice Cream
or even a slice of cheddar cheese
what ever your pleasure!
