When Apples are in season and delivered fresh to the supermarket or farmers market, you should make something with them. I personally love everything made with apples. Apple cake, pie, cookies… My recipe today is an easy one with apples you can enjoy all year round – Apple Crumble with Maple Walnuts.
Even though an apple cake is nice in summer, for me it’s the perfect bake for fall and early winter. Apples in combination with cinnamon always remember me of fall and the time to get cozy on the sofa ;) I am normally a summer person, but who could resist a nice evening with a movie and some apple crumble on the sofa? Nobody!
Apple crumble is basically an apple cake deconstructed and really easy to prepare. All you have to do is dice the apples, make some streusel and mix everything in small baking forms and bake it. Everybody can do that. You can easily prepare the apple crumble some time in advance and bake them when needed. Served with some vanilla sauce or ice cream hardly anyone can resist ;)
For the extra crunch, I made the toasted pecans with maple syrup. That’s something I have at home almost all the time. You can use that on many desserts for some extra flavor or just for decorations… or also good – mixed with your muesli in the morning ;)

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
