For the apples, I used Red Delicious and Granny Smith, since they happened to be on sale. (Trying to be frugal) I also used a 9in pie pan.
First attempt, I sliced the apples and didn't melt the butter. I liked it, but I felt like it wanted to be more of an apple pie. Second attempt, I cut the apples into small pieces. And for the crumbles, I melted butter and then added all the dry ingredients to that. I think it was easier to eat (especially when you use a crappy plastic fork at work!)

| My second attempt |
Both ways tasted super delicious and had just enough sweetness with the tart. I didn't peel the apples on either attempt, but I think it adds to the flavor.
Nice! I am glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI have a severe allergy to apple peel, so I am unable to make it that way so I am not sure how different it would taste. I have also never tried it with Red Delicious since it's not a baking apple (more a salad apple) or Granny Smith's (for those wondering what the original recipe calls for, it's Golden Delicious and Cortlands). I definitely recommend trying it with those, if you can find them on sale in the future! Cortland's were the hardest for us to find early in the season, most of our local stores were not carrying them yet.
I definitely recommend cutting the apples into smaller pieces and making sure the butter is super soft but I actually had a worse time getting the ingredients to crumble with completely melted butter.
