Our third and final dish for our first Ingredient Challenge is this Bourbon Apple Ginger Crumb Bumb. This dessert is really easy to make, flavorful, and fun for the kids to help you make it. It has great flavor and texture. The apples are tender with the bite of bourbon and a great chew from the molasses. The crumble on top adds a great crunch to bring it all together.

Notes
In the video I said to place the crumble in the oven for about 30 minutes. That wasn't long enough. If you are using individual dishes it will take about 45 minutes. If you are using a casserole dish it will take approximately 1 hour. Monitor the crumble towards the end. It is finished with the top is brown and toasted.
