Apple Crumble

Apple Crumble is one of those desserts that I love so much, but never make it enough. This may sound sad to some or all of you, but when I eat crumble it feels like a warm hug, especially when it's served with custard. Unfortunately, when I made this one, I only had ice cream on deck. But luckily, crumble tastes amazing with ice cream too. Especially Mackie's vanilla ice cream.


 
Ingredients:
 
Filling:
 
6 apples, peeled, cored and cut into cubes

3 tablespoons of caster sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Crumble:

175g plain flour

110g caster sugar

110g cold butter, cubed

Pinch of salt

30g rolled oats (optional)

 

Topping:

Caster sugar, sprinkling

 

To serve:

Ice cream or custard to serve


 Method:

  1.  Cut up your apples into cubes and place in a sauce pan. Add in the cinnamon, sugar and 3 tablespoons of water and mix.
  2. Place it on the hob over a low to medium heat to cook until the apples become soft, but still holding their shape. You don't want apple sauce.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan.
  4. When your apples are done, place them in your dish of choice.
  5. In a bowl, add the flour, butter and sugar and rub the ingredients together between your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.*
  6. Pour the crumble mix over the apples. Take a fork and run it across the top to make sure the crumble is covering the apples evenly. Also, the fork lines over the top of crumble are mandatory.
  7. Place the crumble in the over and cook for 35-40 minutes until the crumble is golden brown.
  8. Serve with custard or ice cream and enjoy.
 

*Tip: If you don't want to make the crumble by hand. Add the butter, flour and sugar into a bowl and use an electric hand or stand mixer to do it. Save your poor fingers the ache.
