Last fall I was blessed with several large boxes of apples from my aunt’s apple tree. I wanted to make sure they didn’t go to waste.

So I canned apples in syrup, applesauce, apple butter and apple cider, dehydrated apples and made and canned apple pie filling.

FOR WEEKS!

Now I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor (oh my, I said ‘Fruits” of my labor. See what I did there??)

My favorite thing to make with these preserved apples is apple crumble dessert using the apple slices in light syrup. It’s delicious and comes together quickly for a delicious dessert when company surprises you with a visit.

Bada-boom, bada-bing and dessert is being served! Looks and tastes like you toiled away in the kitchen for hours. (shhhh…)

Simple Ingredients

First I pull out my ingredients: a pint of home-canned apples in syrup, all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats (I usually blend about 1/2 quick cooking and 1/2 old fashioned oats), brown sugar, cloves, ground nutmeg (I often substitute cinnamon) a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, softened butter and chopped nuts. I prefer pecans since we have some amazing pecan trees right here on our property.

Now for the hard and complicated directions (because you know I love complicated recipes here at the Homestead) 😉

Easy Assembly

In a medium bowl mix the dry ingredients, cut in softened butter and put bowl aside. Drain the canned apples, reserving the syrup and pour drained apples in an approximately 6×6 casserole dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the oat mixture over the apples and fold to coat.

Pour the reserved syrup over the apples and top with the remaining oat mixture. I like to dot the top of the crumble with small pats of butter. But that’s just my preference & not really part of the recipe.

Then I pop the casserole dish into a 350-degree oven for 30 – 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

No really, that’s it! Hey, if a recipe isn’t delicious, easy, quick AND adaptable it doesn’t hang around long in my kitchen. This one’s a keeper!

Perfection! And making this home-made dessert is good for the budget since it’s using home-canned apples and standard pantry ingredients.

If you’ve canned apples in syrup and you’re wondering what you can make that’s delicious and quick – give it a try.

NOTE: For an even quicker dessert, you can make Crumble From actual Pie Filling. Whip it up in minutes!

Simple apple crumble an easy, delicious dessert. #TexasHomesteader

This was the first apples that i ever canned this year, that being said i am SO happy that i found this recipe. It was DELICIOUS, i will most certainly be making this from now on. Its the week after thanksgiving and i threw in some homemade cranberry sauce that didnt get used up. It was still so yummy, and im making a larger batch tonight just regular to take to our second thanksgiving.

When I threw this together tonight, I was worried it wouldn’t set up, but I was wrong. It was perfect!! I used a quart of apples in syrup, doubled the recipe, and used pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon instead of the nutmeg and cloves. So, so delicious! I will make this again for sure!

Thank you for sharing your recipe! We canned apples for the first time this year and now I need recipes! With a winter weather advisory outside seems like a perfect night to warm up the oven and bake something we grew and canned ourselves! 🙂 Yum, can’t wait!

We call this apple crisp in Michigan. We’ve made it with blueberries,peaches and apples. It’s so easy and good.

  Matt – I’ve heard it called both crumble and crisp – maybe a regional difference in terms? But you’re right, it’s easy and GOOD! ~TxH~

  Barb, especially with the cost of pecans these days. I was spoiled for years to have ample supply in the freezer but ran out last year and had to buy them. WHEW! ~TxH~
