Recipe – Apple Charlotte
This recipe was provided by Jenny Newman.
We are fortunate to have a couple of apple trees in our garden and this is a lovely quick easy recipe that I often make. It is much lighter than a crumble and healthier as there is a lower fat content.
Ingredients:
- 4-6 oz Breadcrumbs (try granary bread)
- 2-3 oz Brown Demerara Sugar
- 2 teaspoons.Cinnamon and a pinch of cloves
- 1 lb Stewed apples (cloves and raisins can be added according to taste or a few dates)
- A little butter
Method:
- Put the stewed apples in a suitable Pyrex dish. Mix the breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples. Dot the top layer evenly with butter.
- Bake at Gas Mark 4 to 5/Conventional Electric 350-375F/Circotherm 160C for 40 minutes.
- Serve with Greek Yoghurt or custard and enjoy.
If you are a crumble fan try mixing apples, plums and a banana together with a little cinnamon. This always goes down well with friends and family too. You would need approximately 1 lb cooking apples, 6 oz plums which you stew just for a few minutes. Sweeten to your own taste, before adding one chopped banana. Cover with your favourite crumble topping and bake as for Apple Charlotte.
