Apple Crumble Cake

I love apples in cakes but sometimes the amount of apple is just too little. I had 6 apples to use up, and I figured, why not try replicate Swensen's apple crumble!

So I searched for apple crumble cake, which some call the German apple cake. This recipe is by allrecipes UK.

Apple Crumble Cake

For the cake base:
100g butter (I used 30g butter, 70g oil cos I was lazy to thaw more butter)
100g brown sugar
200g flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3 eggs

Apple layer:
6 apples, peeled and diced
sprinkle of cinnamon
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Crumble top:
125g butter
125g sugar (can reduce to 100 next time)
150g flour

Mix the cake base like a normal cake/muffin method and pour into an 8 or 9 inch springform pan lined with baking paper. Important to always line the tin!
Mix the apples with the cinnamon and juice, then layer over the cake base. You can press in the apples into the cake base so that the cake won't be apple-less haha.
Using your fingers, mix the crumble ingredients together. I was expecting powdery crumbs but the butter was soft so it became like a cookie batter. Spread over the apple layer by separating and creating the crumble effect.
Bake for 45-50 (I used 50) minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Best eaten on the spot, I kept stored in an airtight container, the crumble top was still okay but some bits look moist. I still have tart shells to use, I'd probably make apple tarts the next time round and top with this recipe's crumb topping cos it's just yummeh.

Anyway this is Husband-approved! He usually won't eat weird looking stuff but he likes this one!

In other news I had a very frustrating time teaching my boy how to read!! And my little girl gave me a shock when I saw her standing on the sofa leaning backwards. She climbed the sofa on her own!

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
