Apple and Strawberry Crumble with Madhuka Powder
Apple and Strawberry Crumble, a delightful dessert that combines the tartness of apples with the sweetness of strawberries under a crunchy topping. With our very own, Madhuka Powder
Ingredients
- 3 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Madhūka Powder
For the Crumble Topping
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
- Additional 2 tablespoons Madhuka powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon Madhuka powder. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- In another bowl, mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and 2 tablespoons of Madhuka powder. Add the diced butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbly and tender.
- Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- The addition of Madhuka powder gives a unique, sweet, and earthy flavor to both the fruit and the crumble topping.
- Adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of your fruits and the Madhuka powder.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with a light, crisp white wine if serving at a dinner party.
- Enjoy your flavorful Apple and Strawberry Crumble with a twist of Madhuka powder!
