I discovered this by happy accident when I'd been planning to make a banana and walnut loaf and roasted the walnuts, but changed my mind last minute and made an apple crumble instead - including the roast walnuts. The result was incredible! Apple crumble will never be the same again now that I have discovered the walnut trick! (The Bramley apples go soft and fluffy when baked and the coxes retain some of their texture. The combination of both makes for a perfect crumble or pie filling.)
Ingredients
200g walnut pieces
3 Bramley apples
2 Cox orange apples
75g sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
200g plain flour
100g salted butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
Method
Turn the oven on to 180 degrees and roast the walnut pieces on a tray for about 4 minutes. Meanwhile peel and chop the apples, place them in your crumble dish and add the white sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon to coat the apple pieces. Now place a layer of roasted walnuts on top.
Now make the crumble with the flour, butter and sugar. Cube the butter at room temperature and rub it into the flour and sugar. Once this mixture resembles breadcrumbs distribute it evenly on top of the walnuts.
Bake for about 40 mintues at 175 degrees Celsius. I find that if the crumble goes in when the roast comes out then by the time you've finished the main course the pudding is ready.
