How to Tell It's Done
- until coarse crumbs form
- until the crumbs are golden and the filling is bubbling
Tips
- Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
Common Mistakes
- Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
More Ways
- Peel the apples (and pears), dice them and toss with brown sugar, orange juice and zest and vanilla until every cube is coated, then transfer to a baking dish in an even layer.
- Toss the apple cubes with lemon juice, cinnamon and brown sugar, transfer to a greased 18×25 cm baking dish and scatter the crumbs evenly on top.
