Recipe: Apple Crumble Dessert From Home-Canned Apples In Syrup

by Texas Homesteader 

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…)

If you have canned apples in simple syrup, here's a delicious apple crumble dessert recipe that comes together quickly. #TexasHomesteader

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.

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.

    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!

    Hmm. Hmmm. I can’t wait for apple season! It’s a month away for us–and our trees are loaded. Thanks for the recipe. In fall, we call apple crisp “breakfast”.

    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! đŸ™‚ 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~
