Apple Crumble with Zejd Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Ingredients

For the apple filling

• 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• ½ tsp nutmeg

• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the crumble topping

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup rolled oats

• ⅓ cup brown sugar

• ⅓ cup Zejd Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with Zejd Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

2. Prepare the apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, nutmeg, and flour. Toss until evenly coated.

3. Prepare the crumble: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in Zejd Extra Virgin Olive Oil and stir with a fork until the mixture forms coarse, crumbly clusters.

4. Assemble: Spread the apple mixture evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, covering the surface.

5. Bake: Place in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.

6. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Zejd Tip

Using extra virgin olive oil instead of butter gives the crumble a delicate fruity note that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of baked apples and the warmth of cinnamon.
