Apple Crumble with pecans & cranberries … super quick and super simple, here’s an apple crumble that is as delicious as it is fuss free. The crumble is buttery and generous as we love it, and the apples are cooked to perfection under the weight of the topping.
One constant in my holiday desserts is spices, a whole array of them. Think garam masala, think cinnamon, think star anise, think nutmeg. These are spices that bring warmth to desserts and every bite is comforting. Garam masala might seem a little misplaced as it comes to mind as a savoury or curry spice, yet trust me with this!
Holiday desserts and baking is my most favorite part of the year. So much to do, and honestly so little time! I love playing with ingredients, flavours and colours. I also love making different types of desserts – trifles, cakes, pudding, truffles, cookies … andcrumbles of course!
I have baked apple crumbles for years! Winter just isn’t without the aroma of a crumble baking. Deep smells of cinnamon wafting through the house feels like a big, warm hug. My crumbles always have to have a generous topping. It really adds an indulgence to the perfectly cooked soft spiced apples that are blanketed by the crisp topping. Pecans and dried cranberries add so much texture to desserts, it’s addictive. Do try this apple crumble and let me know!
Do tag me on Instagram at Passionate About Baking or share a comment here on the blog if you make this or any other recipe from the blog. I’d love to see it!

Add all the ingredients to a hand blender and process until the butter is distributed equally. Alternatively, mix all the ingredients except butter in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or using your fingertips to distribute equally.
Reserve.

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.
