Ingredients

  • 5 cups of freshly peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples
  • The juice of a lemon for a tangy kick
  • 2 tablespoons of delicate light brown sugar
  • A teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • A hint of ground nutmeg for added warmth (optional)
  • 6 ounces of crumbled plain sesame halva for a unique twist
  • ½ cup of hearty rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup of versatile all-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt for balance
  • Aluminum foil for baking

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and prepare an 8-inch or 9-inch baking dish by giving it a light greasing.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine fresh apples, a splash of zesty lemon juice, rich brown sugar, warm cinnamon, and a hint of nutmeg for a fragrant and flavorful fruit mixture. Gently layer this delightful concoction into your prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Next, create a crumbly topping by mixing halva, hearty oats, a touch of flour, and a pinch of salt until it reaches a satisfying consistency. Sprinkle this delectable crumble over the fruity base, then cover it with aluminum foil to ensure a gradual browning process.

Step 4

Pop your dish into the preheated oven and let it bake until it's bubbling and beautifully browned, typically around 45 minutes. Once done, allow it to cool to let the topping set and harden, making for a deliciously satisfying dessert or snack.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your apples fresh by storing them in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
  2. 2. Store your halva topping in an airtight container to maintain its crunchy texture.
  3. 3. To keep your crumble topping at its crispiest, store it separately from the apple filling until ready to bake.
