Quick Traditional Apple Crumble {with video}
Golden apple crumble ready in minutes!
Equipment
- 1 Cookware dish
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 3-4 Apples (600g)
- 2 tbsp Caster Sugar (I use Golden)
Crumble Topping
- 190 g Plain Flour
- 120 g Caster Sugar (I use Golden)
- 120 g Butter (chilled from fridge)
Optional Topping
- 2 tbsp Oats
- 2 tbbs Soft Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 190C or gas 5. Choose a cookware dish you will assemble your crumble in
- Slice your apples into thin strips and place them into a bowl (you can peel the apples if you wish but I enjoy the texture and colour with the skin on)
- With your bowl of sliced apples, add 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and toss until evenly coated. Place into your cookware dish and flatten down with your hand to prevent crumble falling through
- Put plain flour (190g) and golden caster sugar (120g) and small chunks of cold butter (120g) and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like large breadcrumbs
- Pour the crumble mix over the apples and spread evenly. Gently press the surface with the back of a spoon so the crumble holds together and goes crisp
- (optional) Sprinkle rolled oats (2 tbsp) and Soft Brown sugar (2 tbsp) over the top of your crumble mix for added flavour and crisp
- Pop your crumble in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples are soft if you insert a small, sharp knife
