Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Pie Filling
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
- Add the cored and chopped apples to the pan along with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder.
- Cook on medium heat for about 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender yet still retain a slight crunch.
- Remove from heat and transfer the apple mixture to a bowl, setting it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Greek Yogurt Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of hung curd (Greek yogurt) with 2 teaspoons of natural bourbon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the crumble.
Step 3: Prepare the Spiced Crumble
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of instant oats, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder, and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg powder. Mix well to combine.
- Add 1/4 cup of butter to the dry ingredients, and use your fingers to incorporate the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the crumble mixture evenly on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Step 4: Assemble the Spiced Apple Crumble
- Choose a serving vessel such as shot glasses, dessert bowls, or any container of your choice.
- Start by adding a tablespoon of the prepared apple pie filling to the bottom of each glass or bowl.
- Follow with a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture, then repeat the layering process: apple stew, Greek yogurt, and finish with a final layer of apple stew.
- Top the assembled dessert with a generous sprinkle of the spiced crumble for that perfect crunchy finish.
