Made an Apple Crumble with apples I had got cheaply from lidl for only 39p for 4, really good price. I normally make an apple crumble every 3 weeks and freeze it. Myself and my son treat ourselves with a big portion of it on a Saturday night with Ambrosia Devon Cream and a nice warm cup of coffee.......mmmmmmnnnnnnnn!!!!! My mouth is watering now at the thought of it tonight.
The Finished Apple Crumble |
Ingredients
For the crumble
- 300g/10½oz plain flour, sieved pinch of salt
- 175g/6oz unrefined brown sugar
- 200g/7oz unsalted butter, cubed at room temperature
- Knob of butter for greasing
For the filling
- 450g/1lb apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm/½in pieces
- 50g/2oz unrefined brown sugar
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 pinch of ground cinnamon
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Place the flour and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Taking a few cubes of butter at a time rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Place the fruit in a large bowl and sprinkle over the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir well being careful not to break up the fruit. Butter a 24cm/9in ovenproof dish. Spoon the fruit mixture into the bottom, then sprinkle the crumble mixture on top. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the crumble is browned and the fruit mixture bubbling. Serve with thick cream or custard.
I highly recommend this recipe but would like to hear alternatives that you may use.
