It adds texture and flavor, but it is not necessary +(you can simply skip the steps dealing with speculaas). + +Pick apples you like (I like to mix sweet and sour apples). You may also switch +fruits. For example by using red berries.

This will bring it to room +temperature (softer). + +1. Peel the apples and cut them in eight, and again in two along their length. +2. *Cook the apples*. Melt some butter in a large casserole (apples should not + overlap themselves). Then add: all apples, 50g of brown sugar, and some + cinnamon. Use medium/high heat; this should take 5/10 min. Take the + preparation off when the apples are nicely browned and soft. In the + meantime, start making the crust (next item). +3. *Prepare the crust*. Put the flour, 200g brown sugar and 100g butter in a + large bowl. Make the crust by mixing everything by hand. The crust is ready + once it has a sandy texture. You can always adjust the texture by adding + butter, flour or sugar. +4. Optionally, take one third of the speculaas, ground them, and add them to + the crust preparation. +5. Butter your oven dish with the remaining butter. +6. Optionally, ground the last two thirds of speculaas, and spread them evenly + in the baking dish. +7. Put the apples in the baking dish.
