Apple Crumble with Salted Butter Caramel Sauce

Yum

So, desserts have always been my thing and everyone is asking…”Where are your desserts?!”  Scaling down desserts for two isn’t the easiest thing in the world but this one was super easy!  So here it is, my first dessert on the blog and I promise many more to come! 

 

Now I know that they say that an apple a day will keep the doctor away but what about an apple crumble?!  I kind of doubt it, but this recipe is still great because of it’s perfect little sweet portion control size!  You only get one and it really is just the right amount!  Everything in moderation, right? 

I love everything apple.  Apple pie a la mode is one of my favorite desserts but most of the time I don’t want to fuss with making a crust for apple pie.  That’s why I love apple crumble!  I have had some crumbles that ended up with a soggy topping and flavorless filling until I tried this recipe with a simple way to make crisp, crunchy crumble and an apple filling that tastes like apple! 

Another thing I love is caramel.  Caramel and apples just go together!  I decided that I wanted to have that caramel flavor with my crumble so I made a quick no-stir Salted Butter Caramel Sauce to drizzle over the top!  Yeah, I don’t know when to stop.  As if that wasn’t enough, I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream!  Maybe that’s gilding the lily but so what, I like my lilies gilded! 

The trick to keeping your crumble crisp is to bake it for 20 minutes on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet before adding it to the apple filling.  This step insures perfect crumble every time!
