Apple Crumble Tartlets

Wed, 15 March 2017

Catherine Leyden made Apple Crumble Tartlets in the AM kitchen this morning. They’re a modern take on an Irish classic, especially for St. Patrick’s Day this Friday!

Ingredients:

Pastry

375g/12oz Odlums Cream Plain Flour                      

175g/6oz Butter

150ml/¼pt Cold Water

Filling

2 Large Cooking Apples

2-3 tablespoons sugar, to sweeten

Crumble

125g/4oz Odlums Cream Plain Flour

125g/4oz Butter (room temperature)

125g/4oz Shamrock Demerara Sugar

175g/6oz Odlums Porridge Oats

Method:

Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5. Lightly grease two 12 cup bun trays.

Peel, core and roughly chop apples. Place in a saucepan with sugar and a little water (2-3 tablespoons) over a low heat, stirring occasionally until softened.

Meanwhile, place flour in a mixing bowl, coarsely rub in the butter. Add sufficient water (about 150ml/¼pt) to mix to a soft dough.

Turn onto a lightly floured board and gently knead. Roll out pastry on floured board, cut out 24 discs and place in the prepared tins. Place in the fridge while making crumble.

Put the flour into a bowl, add in butter and rub into flour with your fingers until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add in sugar and oats and mix together.

Put spoonfuls of stewed apple into each of the pastry bases and then top with crumble mixture.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of icecream, freshly whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
