Pink Pearl Apples give this classic fall twist a new, vibrant look and pair perfectly with the hints of thyme. —Bradley Chen
Ingredients
- Roasted Pepita Crumb Topping
-
8 tablespoons
butter, unsalted
-
1/4 cup
brown sugar
-
1/4 cup
granulated white sugar
-
1 cup
all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup
rolled oats
-
1/2 cup
roasted pepitas, unsalted
- Pink Pearl Apple & Thyme Filling
-
4
pink pearl apples, cored and sliced
-
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon
granulated white sugar
-
1.5 teaspoons
fresh thyme leaves
-
1 tablespoon
butter, unsalted
Directions
-
Cream the larger quantities of butter and sugar together until pale brown, light, and fluffy.
-
Mix in the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and roasted pepitas until fully incorporated and crumbly, making sure to crush any chunks of butter that are too large by hand. Refrigerate until needed.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced pink pearl apples, thyme leaves, smaller quantities of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all the apples are coated with the other ingredients.
-
Transfer the apple filling into your desired baking dish and pack the crumb topping on top, making sure no filling can be seen.
-
Bake for approximately one hour, or until the filling is soft and the crumb topping is a rich, golden brown.

Enjoy!
