Apple Crumble Recipe
So easy to make, is this not just the best winter dessert!
Ingredients
- For the Apple Filling
- 6 x apples (I like Elstar) peeled and chopped roughly
- 2 x apples, peeled and chopped in small cubes. Set these aside in a bowl of water with a few drops of lemon juice
- 2 x tbsp water from the tap
- Sugar to taste, if needed.
- For the Crumble Topping
- 300gr / 10.5 oz. plain flour
- 125gr / 4.5 oz. soft brown muscavado sugar
- 125gr / 4.5 oz. butter
- 1 x tbsp extra sugar for sprinkling
Directions
- 1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- 2. Place the water and then the 6 chopped apples in a pan and cook on a medium high heat until they start to break down and become soft. You can stir them now and then, just check that they are not too hot and sticking. This should take about 7 minutes.
- 3. When the apples have cooked, check for sweetness and add a little sugar if needed, stir through. Then drain the other 2 chopped apples and add them to the cooked mix, stir through and set aside.
- 4. In a large bowl, mix the flour, butter and sugar together by rubbing it through your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- 5. Place the apple mix in your oven proof dish, sprinkle the crumble over the top. The best thing is to keep it rustic and resist the temptation to make it neat. If you smooth it out, you won’t get such a nice crunch.
- 6. Sprinkle over the remaining sugar and place in the oven for about 20 to 25 (check after 15) or until the crumble topping is nice and brown and crispy.
