You are going to love this delicious Apple-Berry Crumble with Irish Whiskey Cream…..it is amazing! Cassi liked it so much that she served it to all of her friends that came over to visit. It has a shortbread cookie crust, with layers of fresh fruit, and topped with an oatmeal-almond crumble! If that isn’t enticing enough, I then topped it with a dollop of Irish Whiskey infused whipped cream…..Yum! I think this is my new go-to comfort food dessert.

Buttery, fruity and nutty aromas fill the air, so much so that you will not be able to keep from watching the timer count down! It makes the whole house smell better than a fancy fragrance candle!

How to make Apple-Berry Crumble with Irish Whiskey Cream:

Shortbread Crust:

Butter an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Combine the flour, sugar and butter in a food processor.

Pulse 8 to 10 times, or until the mixtures resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the egg yolk and 2 Tablespoons of ice water and process for 15 to 20 seconds, or until dough comes together. If the dough seems too dry, add the additional Tablespoon of water.

Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it onto the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Filling:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Layer the apples into the chilled crust.

Add the berries on top of the apple slices. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch and sprinkle it over the berries.

Crumble Topping:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oatmeal, and butter. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the almonds, and sprinkle over the berries.

Place on a parchment/silicone lined baking sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Irish Whiskey Whipped Cream:

Beat whipping cream (or coconut cream) in a large bowl until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and Irish Whiskey and continue to beat until creamy.

Serve warm crumble with a dollop of Irish Whiskey Whipped Cream.

Recipe Notes & Tips

I have used a 10 1/2-inch ceramic tart pan in the past and it worked just fine if you do not have the 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom that I used above.
Using an apple-peeler-corer-slicer gadget makes this dessert extra easy to prepare. This Apple Peeler with a clamp base is similar to the one I have been using for 25 years.

Some Virgo tidbits: Virgo runs from August 24th to September 23rd. The most compatible signs for a Virgo are: Taurus, Cancer, and Capricorn. Least compatible are Aquarius and Aries; which I find very funny, because every Virgo I know is married to an Aries!!
