Apple Crumble

Apple Crumble is one of those simple, quick and no fuss desserts to make. So simple in fact that you will only look at the recipe once and it will be in your culinary repertoire for life. The best part is that you can make your own additions to the dish or change it. It is simple as stewed fruit and crumble mix.

Apple Crumble

6 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and cut into 8ths)

Small amount of water

1 tablespoon sugar

4 tablespoons sifted plain flour

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Rolled Oats

Ground Cinnamon

Brown Sugar

Place cut apples in a saucepan with a shallow amount of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar, cook on a medium low heat until the apples have become soft and are at the consistency of stewed apples. Taste to check if you need to add more sugar. Place the stewed apples into a baking dish.

To make the crumble mix, place sifted flour and margarine/butter in a bowl and using your fingers rub the margarine/butter into the flour to form crumbs. Add in rolled oats, ground cinnamon and brown sugar and mix well to combine. Cover the stewed apples with the crumble mix and bake in a moderate oven until the crumble mixture has turned golden brown.

Serve hot with custard.

*My Notes*

Don't be afraid to use you hands when making the crumble mixture, it will help everything to be mixed well together especially the brown sugar. I don't have measures for the oats, cinnamon or brown sugar because I normally just eyeball the amount when making it, you will know when there is enough for your liking.
