Smulpaj

Or, as we say in English, crumble. I rarely make these the same way twice, and tend to just toss whatever sounds good in a bowl, without looking at a recipe first, but I keep coming back to them as they are yummy. Once in a while I write down what I put in them, and these will be recorded here.

Sometimes I use no sugar or honey at all, others, I add a little, but way, way less than most recipes call for.

An apple-rhubarb-walnut-cimmamon smulpaj for 2026-06-15 Keldor’s birthday week, day 1

Filling

• 3 apples
• 1 bag of frozen chopped rhubarb
• 5 tablespoons brown sugar
• cinnamon
• a little butter

Topping

• 5 dl oats

• 0.5 c walnuts
• 1 tablespoon honey
• cinnamon

to make

1. butter a glass baking dish
2. chop the apples into cubes, discarding the apple core
3. thaw the rhubarb, and drain some of the water
4. mix the apples and rhubarb with the sugar and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and spread in the pan, then set a few thin slices of butter over
5. mix the oats with the butter till the butter softens and is evenly distributed throughout the oats
6. stir in the honey, cinnamon, and walnuts

Keldor likes his with a vanilla sauce, I like mine with yoghurt.
