Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss 4 cups thinly sliced apples with 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup rye flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans; stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and clumps together.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, pressing gently to form a compact crust.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges (visible through the crust).

Can I substitute ingredients in Rytelo Rye Apple Crumble?

How do I scale Rytelo Rye Apple Crumble for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 6 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 6). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
