Hello and Welcome!

I'm glad you stopped by! This is my first post on my new blog and I hope you check back often as I will be posting several times a week.

Homemade Apple Crumble

I want to share with you a recipe for Apple Crumble. It is so easy to make and oh so yummy! A perfect dessert to make for your family during these cool Autumn days and it will fill your house with the sweet scent of cinnamon sugar and apples!

I like to use clear custard cups for my crumble as I think it's a nice touch for everyone to have their own individual dessert - it makes it more special. I purchased mine at Wal-mart but they can be easily found at most stores.

Recipe for Apple Crumble:

Apple pie filling (store bought or hand made canned)

1 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup softened butter

1/4 cup quick oats

Start by spooning apple pie filling into each custard cup to about 2/3rds full. Next, combine flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and the quick oats until crumbly. Spoon this mixture onto the pie filling, making a nice rounded top. Place custard cups onto a cookie sheet to catch any spills while baking. Bake @ 350 degrees until brown and bubbly.

Great on it's own but even better when served with ice cream or cool whip! ENJOY!

Recipe for home made canned apple pie filling

Wash and scald quart jars (or let your dishwasher do it for you!). Fill jars full of apples. Combine syrup ingredients and bring to a boil. Pour syrup to top of jars. Seal and process for 20 minutes in a hot water bath.
