Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 80 grams All-purpose flour
- 70 grams Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 240 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) if preparing the crumble topping.
For Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, mix 60 grams of unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), 80 grams of all-purpose flour, 70 grams of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this over the pre-baked apple pie and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
For Caramel Drizzle: In a small saucepan, heat 100 grams of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted and amber-colored. Carefully whisk in 120 milliliters of heavy cream (it will bubble up, so be cautious) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, then let cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle over the pie just before serving.
For Cinnamon Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat 240 milliliters of heavy whipping cream with 30 grams of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve a dollop alongside a slice of apple pie.
