Discover the delicious tradition of Irish desserts with our recipe for Irish Apple and Cinnamon Crumble topped with a rich Irish Whiskey Sauce. This comforting treat combines the sweet tartness of apples with warm cinnamon, all enhanced by the smooth flavor of Irish whiskey.
Ingredients
- 4 large apples (such as Bramley or Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup Irish whiskey
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Additional sugar to taste
Preparation
Making the Apple Filling
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon and sugar until well coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a baking dish.
Preparing the Crumble Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the diced cold butter and rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
Baking
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Irish Whiskey Sauce
While the crumble is baking, prepare the whiskey sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat. Add the Irish whiskey and stir well. Sweeten with additional sugar if desired. Continue to warm until just heated through, then serve alongside the warm crumble.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the warm apple crumble topped with a generous drizzle of Irish whiskey sauce. For extra indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This dessert pairs beautifully with a cup of Irish tea or coffee.
