Macallan Harmony 'vibrant Oak' Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the crumble topping: In a large bowl, combine flour (2 cups), rolled oats (1.5 cups), brown sugar (0.5 cup), ground cinnamon (0.5 tsp), and salt (0.25 tsp). Add cold unsalted butter for crumble (0.5 cup) and cut in with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.

3. 3

   Prepare the apples: In a separate bowl, toss sliced apples (4 cups) with lemon juice (2 Tbsp) and granulated sugar for apples (2 Tbsp) until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Assemble the dish: Spread the apples evenly in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle Macallan Harmony Vibrant Oak whiskey (3 Tbsp) over the apples to infuse while baking.

5. 5

   Top the apples with the crumble mixture: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple layer. Gently press to help the topping adhere.

6. 6

   Bake the crumble: Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and bubbly around the edges.

7. 7

   Prepare whisky caramel: While the crumble bakes, make the whisky caramel. In a small heavy-bottom saucepan, combine granulated sugar for caramel (0.5 cup) and water (2 Tbsp). Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar melts and turns amber. Remove from heat.

8. 8

   Finish the caramel: Off the heat, whisk in unsalted butter for caramel (4 Tbsp) until smooth, then whisk in heavy cream (0.5 cup) until shiny. Whisk in Macallan Harmony Vibrant Oak whiskey (3 Tbsp) until glossy. Return to very low heat if needed to keep warm and meld flavors.

9. 9

   Serve: When the crumble is hot, drizzle the warm whisky caramel over portions and enjoy. Best served slightly warm.
