Partly inspired by Apple Crumble Slices you'd find in a New Zealand bakery and partly by my mother's homemade apple slice, this buttery melt-in-your-mouth recipe makes the perfect envelope for the cooler months of Fall. —Sylvie Taylor @ Roamingtaste
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups
flour
-
1/2 cup
confectioner’s/icing sugar
-
6 ounces
butter, chilled and cubed
-
5
medium gala apples, peeled, cored and cubed
-
1/4 cup
water
-
2 tablespoons
superfine/caster sugar
-
2 tablespoons
corn starch
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350F and greaseproof a slice tin.
-
Place the flours and confectioner’s sugar in a bowl and stir to combine. Make a well in the center and add the butter. Combine with a fork until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
-
Pour two thirds of the crumb mixture into the base of a slice tin and flatten down tightly. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Remove and set aside.
-
Place the apples into a pot with the water on medium-low heat, add in the sugar and stir through. Cook for a further 5 minutes or the apples begin to look translucent on the edges.
-
Spoon the apples over the base and spread evenly.
-
Press the remaining crumb mixture together and sprinkle over the apples. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
-
Remove and allow to cool.
-
Slice and serve.
