Streusel: the Alsace crumble?
The Streusel — which literally means “sprinkle" in German - is not too dissimilar from the Anglo-Saxon crumble. However, whilst these two desserts both feature a fruit filling covered with a crumb mixture, the Alsace Streusel stands out with its richness and technique.
Whilst a crumble consists of fruit and a buttery crumb, the Alsace Streusel sits atop a pastry, with a generous layer of fruit, and is then covered with a second layer of pastry topped with its characteristic streusel mix.
A speciality in its own right, which our Maison has perfected over the years, with the same high standards that we apply for all our creations.
Meltingly soft apples and juicy damson plums
Our Apple & Damson Plum Streusel starts off with an expertly prepared pastry, onto which our pâtissiers add chopped apples and halved damson plums, the first adding a melt-in-the-mouth sweetness and the second elevating the flavours with their juicy acidity. A second layer of pastry then embraces the fruit before baking.
It is all then generously covered with streusel - a crumb mix made with cane sugar, flavoured with cinnamon and elevated with roasted hazelnuts - which forms the beloved fine, buttery texture with a subtle yet satisfying crunch when baked, which reveals a melt-in-the-mouth centre with each bite.
A decadent dessert to share
With 4 to 6 servings, the Apple & Damons Plum Streusel is a natural option for any occasion where you want to share a treat. Whether it’s enjoyed alongside or at the end of a meal, this dessert can be enjoyed all year round. We recommend serving it alongside an infusion or tea for a decadent midday treat or warming it and topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing.
