Apple crumble

 

How are you all doing? It has been a while… I’m fine, but kind of busy. Denmark lifted all restrictions about a month ago and life has gotten pretty much back to normal. I’m commuting to work every day by train and there are no masks. It’s taking a little while adjusting back to the office life. I’m very drained in the evenings even though I get less work done in the office than at home. Well this is how it’s going to be for now unless something happens again.

I’ve been cooking a lot as usual, but not had much inspiration for blogging. I thought I would share this recent apple crumble with you, as I got these gorgeous Danish apples. It was so tasty. Apple crumble is one of my favourite desserts and it’s always good to make one in this season.

Have a nice weekend!

Omenahyve – Finnish apple crumble

Omenahyve (omena = apple, hyve = virtue, goodness) is a Finnish style apple crumble. It's very easy and effortless to make and it's a filling and sweet dessert.

Omenahyve is usually made in the late summer and in the autumn when new apple crops are being harvested. This dessert also fondly reminds me of carefree summers at my grandparent's place.

This recipe will make enough crumble for four people. I used Pink Lady apples but also some more bitter ones are suitable as the topping is quite sweet.

Ingredients

4 Apples

50g Butter

2dl Oat flakes

1dl Sugar

Vanilla ice-cream on the side

Method

Peel the apples and cut them to thin slices. Grease an oven dish and place the apples there overlapping.

Melt the butter and mix it with the oats and sugar. Spread the mix on the apples.

Bake at 200C for about 30 minutes until the apples are cooked soft and the oat crumble is crispy.

Serve it while the crumble is still hot with some vanilla ice-cream on the side. The contrast between hot and cold is amazing.

Try it, it would make a good dessert for a Sunday dinner!
