Apricot Crumble With Coconut Crumble Topping Recipes

APRICOT PIE WITH COCONUT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the topping: Whisk together flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pulse coconut in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and brown sugar, and pulse to combine. Add flour mixture, and pulse until clumps form.
• Make the crust: Roll out pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim crust to a 1-inch overhang using kitchen shears. Fold edges under, and press to seal. Crimp as desired. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Make the filling: Stir together apricots, sugars, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour filling into piecrust. Sprinkle with topping, squeezing some of the mixture into medium to large clumps and leaving a 1-inch border.
• Bake pie on middle rack, with a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack to catch juices, until vigorously bubbling in center and bottom crust is golden, about 1 1/2 hours. (Loosely tent topping with foil after 30 minutes to prevent burning.) Transfer pie to a wire rack, and let cool for at least 2 hours (preferably longer) before serving.

APRICOT CRUMBLE WITH COCONUT CRUMBLE TOPPING

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 190°C (375°F)
• Wash, dry and de-stone apricots by cutting them in half and removing the stone. Place in a medium sized oven safe baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix crumble topping ingredients together until combined.
• Spoon the crumble mixture over the apricots, spreading it evenly over the fruit. Don't squish it down, you'll get a better more crumbly result if the topping is spread loosely and looks a bit lumpy.
• Bake for 30 min or until the crumble is toasted and golden, and the fruit is soft and tender.
• Allow to cool slightly and enjoy while still warm with cream or vanilla ice-cream.

APRICOT CRUMBLE WITH OATMEAL TOPPING

Steps:

• First make the topping. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Place the oats, rice flour, whole-wheat flour or ground flaxseeds, turbinado sugar, salt and nutmeg in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the grain mix. The mixture should have a crumbly consistency.
• Spread the topping over the parchment-covered baking sheet in an even layer. Place in the oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, stir the mixture, and bake another 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. You can keep this in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for several weeks.
• Raise the oven heat to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together the apricots, honey or agave nectar, cinnamon, cornstarch, slivered almonds, vanilla and almond extract. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Scrape the fruit and all of the juice in the bowl into the baking dish. Spread the crumble topping over the apricots in an even layer. Bake 20 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
