Apple Slice with Streusel Topping

This delicious apple slice is the ultimate comfort food. It has a buttery sweet shortcrust base, a lush apple and cinnamon filling and topped with a crispy, German style brown sugar streusel topping.  Thermomix and food processor recipe included.

This recipe has been a family favourite for a long time. I first started making the slice before I had my Thermomix so the recipe includes instructions for making this in the food processor or TM.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a very lazy cook. I’m reminding you now because although this is technically a three-layer slice it is so easy that you just have to make it! The layers are simply added one after another and then the sliced is baked off for 45minutes.

Serve the apple slice straight out of the oven with custard and ice-cream for a lovely warming dessert or refrigerate and serve cold for morning tea. This is a very versitile sweet! Regardless of whether you eat it hot or cold I’m sure it will become a firm favourite.

Instructions

Apple Slice Base

1. Line a 30cm x 20cm baking tin with paper.

Apple Filling

2. Add the apple lemon zest, cinnamon and apple sauce to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Reserve for later use.

Streusel Topping

Assembly the Apple Slice

1. Spread the apple mixture over the base of the slice.

2. Spoon the crumble over the slice allow it to sit in clumps to the top of the apple layer. 

3. It's nice to squeeze bits together so the mixture isn’t too small and crumbly on the top.

4. Bake for 45 minutes until the crumbs are lightly golden.

Recipe Notes

The slice will be soft whilst it's hot but once refrigerated it will become much easier to cut neatly.
