A delightful twist on the classic apple crumble, featuring a crispy oat topping and a hint of coconut for added flavor.
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly.
Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
In a saucepan, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, water, and ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cooked apple mixture to a greased baking dish.
Spread the apples evenly for consistent baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Use your hands to mix for a crumbly texture.
Add the butter to the topping mixture and rub it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Chill the butter beforehand for easier handling.
Spread the topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
Press lightly to ensure the topping adheres to the apples.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite accompaniment.
Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat.
