Simple Baked Maple Apple Crumble

Maple season is nearly upon us!  Here is a simple dessert that combines two of my favourites Maple Syrup and Apples…both can be purchased locally in Simcoe County.  From Food and Drink Autumn 2011.

To a buttered casserole dish, add 6 large baking apples, cored, peeled and sliced.  Add 1/4 cup maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon and toss to coat.  In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup room temperature butter, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/3 cup brown sugar and work until flour is absorbed.  Sprinkle over apples.  Bake 45 minutes at 350F or until apples are tender and topping is golden.
