Filling

ingredients

  • 10 peeled chopped apples
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoon bobs red mill gluten free flour
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider

Filling

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in cast iron skillet. Add sugar and stir to combine. Cook on medium-low until golden.

  • Step 2

    Add apples, and toss to coat in sugar mixture. Apples will cook down plenty, so don't worry if the pan seems full. Add lemon juice, and cinnamon sticks. Simmer, stirring frequently until apples have softened and liquid reduces a little.

  • Step 3

    Remove cinnamon sticks. Add all spice, and ginger. Add flour, and fold to coat apples.

  • Step 4

    Add cider, and wine. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, and turn off heat. Cover apples with crumble. (it will feel like a lot of crumble.. That's good! It soaks up residual liquid, and creates a cake like binding between all the nooks of the apples.)

  • Step 5

    Bake for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, and top with maple butter whipped cream.
