Irresistible Apple Crumble Delight

Ingredients

• A can of sweetened condensed milk, weighing 14 ounces,
• 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced,
• 1 tablespoon of versatile all-purpose flour,
• 1 ½ teaspoons of aromatic ground cinnamon,
• ½ teaspoon of flavorful ground nutmeg,
• 1 teaspoon of fragrant vanilla extract,
• A quarter cup of refreshing water,
• Crumble Mixture:
• 2 cups of wholesome rolled oats,
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour for texture,
• Half a cup of rich brown sugar,
• Half a teaspoon of leavening baking soda,
• A pinch of salt for balance,
• Half a cup of melted butter for a buttery finish.

Step 1

In a large pot, submerge an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk. Ensure the can is fully covered with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow the can to simmer for about 3 hours, maintaining the water level by adding more hot water when necessary. Using tongs, carefully remove the can from the water and let it cool for approximately 20 minutes.

Step 2

Next, prep the apples by placing them in a spacious bowl. Combine 1 tablespoon of flour with cinnamon and nutmeg in a separate small bowl, then mix this spice blend into the apples. Transfer the seasoned apples into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Enhance a bowl of water with vanilla extract and drizzle this flavorful liquid over the apple mixture.

Step 3

Once the condensed milk has cooled, handle it with care and open it. Stir the caramelized milk until it reaches a smooth consistency, then evenly drizzle it over the apple mixture.

Step 4

Create a crumbly topping by mixing oats, 1 cup of flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Incorporate butter into the mixture until it forms a crumble. Sprinkle this crumbly mixture over the apples and caramel.

Step 5

Bake the dish in a preheated oven until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is lightly browned, which should take approximately 25 minutes.
