Apple Crumble with Toffee Sauce

I’m sorry.

I felt the need to just get that out of the way. I’m sorry, because what you’re about to make is chock full of calories but is so damn good you’re not gonna care. You’re going to be smacking people’s hands out of the way as you go in for seconds. No sirree Bob, you’re going to be unapologetically licking your plate for that little bit of toffee sauce. I’m sorry that I’ve brought you to this level.

Apple Crumble with Toffee Sauce

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup light cream (18% M.F.)
1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

9 apples (Golden Delicious or Granny Smith work well)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsps. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup cold butter

Toffee Sauce
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light cream

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter 9×13 inch baking dish. In large bowl, mix together sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add cream and lemon juice, stirring until combined. Toss apples in cream mixture. Spoon into prepared dish.

Mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture is crumbly (using your hands works well too). Spread over apples and pat down lightly. Bake for 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and while cooling slightly, prepare toffee sauce. Combine brown sugar, butter and light cream in saucepan. Simmer until sauce thickens.

Serve spoonfuls of apple crumble with toffee sauce poured over top. Plan sit-ups for the next day.
