Apple Crumble

There is little else as satisfying on an wet evening than settling in on the couch with a portion of warm Apple Crumble and putting a film on.

We’ve just got back from a rather wet walk this evening so I thought I'd share what I'm craving. I love this recipe, it always goes down well when I have guests. I would recommend using cooking apples for crumbles. They help to give a slight tartness to what otherwise can be a sweet dessert.

INGREDIENTS

Topping

120g Oats

220g Plain Flour

180 Butter

90g Soft Brown

90g Caster Sugar

Filling

5 Cooking Apples

60g Brown Sugar

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

In a large mixing bowl add your ingredients for the crumble topping.

Rub the ingredients together with your hands until they form a breadcrumb like texture.

Pour the topping onto a large baking tray and place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes.

Toss the mixture then put back in for approximately another 10 minutes (it should be a golden brown colour).

While the crumble topping is baking peel and roughly dice the apples into 1 cm chunks.

Add the apple to a large pan with the sugar.

Place the pan over a low heat and stir the apples for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. The apples should soften and the sugar mix with the juices to form a bubbling liquid.

Pour the contents of the apple pan into a large baking dish.

Cover with the topping mixture and place into the oven for approximately 15 minutes so the juices from the apple bubble up around the edges.

Serve warm.
