FROM THE GALLEY
STOVE TOP CRUMBLE CAKE, created by Kristen, S/V Nautilus fall of 2009
The story behind the recipe is interesting, just the way we like it.
Kristen though relatively new at sailing like myself has become very proficient in all aspects of living on board. Due to the fact that her and Steve, did not have an oven she became very creative in the kitchen. This cake is a great example of what and how that has been translated.
I have made this a few times and of course never with the same fruit ingredient either time as when on board you never have the same stores available to you. So go ahead take the liberty, use something other then apples!
Ingredients
6 apples (fruit) – cubed
2 sticks butter ( had a shortage of-- one time and mixed shortening with butter- turned out fine!)
1 cup of sugar
Cinnamon (quite a bit)
2 cups flour
¼ tablespoon salt
Method
Cube the fruit removing skin. Melt 1 stick of butter into frying pan, add fruit, ¼ sugar and cinnamon. Sauté the mixture for approximately 15 minutes, cover with lid.
Cube the other stick of butter and combine with the rest of sugar and the flour and salt. Crumble together with a fork until mix is beaten down into small crumbles. Sprinkle entire mixture on top of the fruit in the pan. Cover with a lid again and continue heating on medium heat for another 15 minutes. Turn head OFF keeping lid on and leaving pan on stove to continue to steam on its own. Let sit for half an hour. Serve warm with whipped cream if you have it or yogurt. It is delicious cold as well.
Enjoy....................hmm so good!
