I saw this made in one of those youtube videos where they were documenting a German Bakery. This is exactly how they made it. The did par bake the crust the night before and left it refrigerated overnight. The next morning, they brought it to room temp, layered on the apples and heaped the crumble on top, then baked it until just slightly browned. They made the same in Rhubarb. When the baker was asked why he had to make the crust ahead, he said it was because the bottom took longer to bake and the crumbles would be too crisp if they baked it long enough to bake the bottom. He also said it prevented the crust from turning to mush if they had to bake it longer which happens if the fruit has a lot of moisture. I’m glad I found this, too many recipes in the US have been altered from what is done in the old countries, yet they all claim to be “authentic”. The baker is 3rd generation and the recipes he uses are over 100 years old and came with the bakery!
