Apple crumble with vanilla quark
50 min · 11 g protein · 292 cals / serving
Sweden's favorite apple crumble with a thinner, crunchier oat topping over a deep layer of cinnamon apples, served with chilled vanilla kvarg in place of vanilla sauce. Warm, tart, sweet and creamy, the way smulpaj should be.
Ingredients
Filling
- 7–8 medium apples, cored and sliced, skin on
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp juice lemon
Crumble
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 1/2 tbsp butter, melted
To serve
- 2 cups flavoured quark with sweetener, vanilla kvarg, chilled
Steps
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Toss the apple slices with the cinnamon and lemon juice and spread them in a deep pie dish about 10 inch across.
- Mix the oats, flour and brown sugar, then stir in the melted butter until it forms damp clumps; if it stays sandy, add a teaspoon or two of water. Scatter it evenly over the apples.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are soft and bubbling at the edges.
- Let it stand 5 minutes and serve warm with the cold vanilla kvarg.
Good to know
Which apples?
Tart Swedish autumn apples like Aroma or Ingrid Marie are ideal; Granny Smith is the year-round stand-in. Sweet apples go mushy and taste flat. If yours are very sour, toss them with a tablespoon of sugar or granulated sweetener along with the cinnamon.
A pinch of cardamom?
Very Swedish and very good: add ½ teaspoon ground cardamom to the crumble. It pairs with the cinnamon rather than fighting it.
