In addition, this version of streusel is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/slow-cooker-dessert-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/slow-cooker-dessert-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">slow-cooker dessert<\/a>, so you can set it and forget it until it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re wondering about the difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-streusel\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-streusel\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">streusel<\/a> and crumble, the two are nearly the same, though a crumble tends to include more sugar. We recommend making this streusel topping as directed to begin with, then make any changes you may like when you remake the recipe later on down the line.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Streusel Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apples:<\/strong> Because the apples are going to be baked, it\u2019s good to go with a tart, crisp apple for this recipe. If it helps, these are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guide-many-common-types-apples-use\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guide-many-common-types-apples-use\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best apples for baking, cooking and eating<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spices:<\/strong> Warming spices like cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg are aromatic and comforting. To add to the mix, consider using ginger, cloves and cardamom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> Using 2% or whole milk is best for this recipe, as some fat helps bind the ingredients together. If you don\u2019t want to use dairy milk, you can substitute it for coconut milk instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> At about 80% fat, butter also helps hold things together, as well as imparting a rich flavor and texture. You&#8217;ll want to start this recipe with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">softened butter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> This portion of the recipe calls for granulated cane sugar, but you can also use an unrefined sugar like panela for extra flavor. You can readily find it online or at a Latino market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Both the fat in the yolks and the protein in the whites are important for baking, as they help cohere and bring structure to a dessert.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> It doesn\u2019t take much vanilla to make a big difference in flavor and aroma. If you want, you can either substitute it for almond extract or simply add a little bit of both to this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biscuit mix:<\/strong> A premade mix typically includes all-purpose flour, dried buttermilk and a leavening agent like baking soda. If you prefer to make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/biscuit-baking-mix\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/biscuit-baking-mix\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">biscuit mix<\/a>, that works too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Topping:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Biscuit mix:<\/strong> Streusel is made from butter, flour and sugar, so biscuit mix is an important part of taking this recipe from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-apple-slices\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-apple-slices\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">baked apples<\/a> to a proper apple streusel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> Thanks to the addition of molasses, brown sugar has more moisture and flavor than regular cane sugar. It\u2019s particularly useful for a topping like streusel, because while you want it to be crumbly, you don\u2019t want it to be dry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> To keep the streusel together, you need a binder. Enter butter\u2014with its high fat content it easily achieves this task.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almonds:<\/strong> Slivered almonds add a nice crunch to this otherwise soft and unctuous dessert. Feel free to use pecans instead of almonds in this apple streusel recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whipped cream (optional):<\/strong> When is whipped cream truly necessary? It simply adds a little extra oomph.

Try both and see which you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a spirit:<\/strong> While the alcohol will cook off, you may find that a good brandy, bourbon or even spiced rum adds a depth of flavor to this dessert that you enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Apple Streusel<\/h2>\n<p>To store apple streusel, first allow it to come to room temperature. Then transfer any leftovers to an airtight container, where it can keep in the fridge for up to five days. That said, if you know you\u2019ll have leftovers, you may want to bake the filling separately from the streusel topping and only add the two when you\u2019re ready to serve.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze apple streusel?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze apple streusel, though you may find its texture changes as a result. This is because the cell walls of apples (as well as any fruit or vegetable) degrade when frozen, causing the fruit to become a bit more mushy.<br \/>\nTo freeze this recipe, allow the apple streusel to come to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container, then store it in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Streusel Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2058996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Apple_Streusel_TOHD24_8124_KaylaWidmer_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Top down beauty shot for Taste Recipes Apple Streusel with a serving on a plate topped with whipped cream and spoon.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the difference between apple strudel and apple streusel?<\/h3>\n<p>While they sound similar, the two are distinct. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sweet-and-savory-strudel-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/sweet-and-savory-strudel-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">strudel<\/a> can be either savory or sweet, and it\u2019s made by wrapping a filling in sheets of pastry dough. A streusel is a deconstructed dessert, served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon.<\/p>\n<h3>How to prevent streusel from becoming soggy?<\/h3>\n<p>Although it will take a little extra effort, you can prebake the streusel for a crispier result. To do this, prepare the streusel mixture and spread it evenly on a baking sheet. Bake it in the oven at 350\u00b0F for about 10 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned.<\/p>\n<h3>Why isn\u2019t my streusel crumbly?<\/h3>\n<p>This could happen for a couple of reasons. First, you may have overmixed the streusel, taking the ingredients from crumbly to completely blended. Second, you may have added butter that was too warm, which melts the sugar instead of encouraging it to keep its granular texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple streusel is a tasty dessert that doesn&#8217;t require too much technique or effort in the baking department.
