Mulled Wine Crumble
What’s not to love about a good Glühwäin during the festive season? For me, mulled wine (or even mulled cider!) is a must in December, and I like to play around with its typical flavours in my recipes too.
This year, I’ve come up with the ultimate festive dessert: mulled wine stewed fruit topped with a buttery almond crumble! The perfect Christmas treat!
This video was filmed together with Auchan in 2018.
3 pears
2 apples
15g butter
50g sugar
200ml red wine
¾ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
a bit of lemon juice
For the crumble topping:
75g flour
50g sugar
a pinch of salt
60g butter, soft
25g flaked almonds
Makes 1 crumble for 4 people
Prep: 10min – Cooking: 20min – Oven: 25 min
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.
Peel the pears and the apples, core and cut into 1cm chunks.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the diced fruit and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
After 5 minutes, add the wine to the fruit along with the sugar, cinnamon, ginger and lemon juice.
Cook the fruit on a medium heat for 15 minutes until softened.
Meanwhile, prepare the crumble topping. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and butter and rub between your hands until it resembles breadcrumbs. Fold in the flaked almonds.
After 15 minutes, put the fruit into a baking dish measuring approx. 20x10cm. Top with the crumble topping and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Serve hot.
Could you use glüwein instead of just red wine?
Yes of course! In that case you can use a bit less cinnamon and ginger, as the Glühwein is already spiced. Merry Xmas!
Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly, can’t wait to try this for Christmas! Have a lovely Christmas too 🙂
