Apple Crumble

The crumble is a classic British recipe originating in World War Two when butter, flour and sugar was rationed.

Apple crumble is a family favourite that has stood the test of time and is still enjoyed today with cream, custard or simply on it"s own. The tart flavour of the apples lends itself welll to the buttery crumble, making it the perfect fruit crumble to bake at home.

For a delicious and easy apple crumble you simply need cooking apples, flour, butter and sugar. A healthy apple crumble can be made by substituting some of the fat for rolled oats to make a crisp and tasty topping. Try using some nuts to add texture to your crumble as in our Apple and Almond crumble. If you"re not apple mad try swapping the apple for pear or rhubarb, an equally tart rhubarb crumble is divine with thick cream. Throw in a few blueberries for a sweet apple and blueberry crumble. For a cool twist enjoy with ice-cream and delight in watching it melt, mmmmm.
