Louisa May Alcott's Apple Slump recipe is a homey, deliberately simple dessert.
Louisa May Alcott's Apple Slump Dessert
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Yield: Serves 6
Louisa May Alcott's Apple Slump Ingredients
4-6 tart apples (I used 3 large Granny Smith and 3 medium Golden Delicious)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, well-beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
Louisa May Alcott's Apple Slump Recipe Instructions
Peel, core and slice the apples.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease with butter the inside of a 1-1/2 quart baking dish. (NOTE: for a shallower, more even apples-to-topping ratio, use a 9 x 13 pan.) Put into the dish the sliced apples, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bake apples uncovered until they are soft, about 20 minutes.
While the apples are baking, sift together into a bowl the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and sugar.
Mix into this the beaten egg, milk and melted butter. Stir gently.
Spread this mixture over the apples and continue baking -- until the top is brown and crusty (about 25 minutes).
Serve with whipped cream.
Apple Slump Recipe Notes (with apologies to Ms. Alcott)
1. Use at least 6 good-sized apples -- 7 or 8 if they're small -- or you'll have more topping than fruit.
2. Where the instructions say, "Put into the dish the sliced apples, brown sugar, nutmeg..." I tossed the apples with the brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl, then poured the mixture into the baking dish. I also added 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla to the apple-sugar mixture.
3. I sprinkled 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the batter topping.
4. Baking times (for both the uncovered apples and the batter-topped Slump) may be longer than noted. Watch for the apples to soften and the top crust to turn an even, light gold-brown.
