I like to make an apple crumble sometimes. I’ll try and find the recipe again.
It was along the same lines as a dump cake, but it used a real cake recipe instead of a mix. And it had molasses in with the apples.
I finally found my apple crumble recipe! Thank goodness I had shared it with someone online, or it might have been lost for good!
Filling:
4-6 cups apples (more if desired)
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup water (or apple cider)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup brown sugar (you can adjust this up or down depending on the sweetness of the apples)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup melted butter
Slice and core the apples. Whether or not to peel them is up to you. Some varieties have peels that soften when cooked, others turn tough and leathery. I leave the peels alone, mainly because I like skipping steps if I can get away with it :)
Lay the apple slices in a greased 9×13 cake pan. When all the apples are sliced, mix the molasses, lemon juice, and water, and pour over apples.
Combine brown sugar, spices, and pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
In a bowl, combine sugars for the topping. Add vanilla and mix well. Combine flour and salt and mix, a little at a time, in with the vanilla/sugar mix until it no longer forms clumps. Sprinkle as evenly as possible over the mixture in the pan. Pour melted butter on top. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, or until top starts to brown. Enjoy hot or cold.
