The Best Apple Crumble

4 stars based on 89 reviews Rate this Recipe

Method

Firstly put on the oven at 200 degrees c/ gas 6.

Put the apples into a saucepan with the 2ozs of the sugar and cook over a gentle heat for 5-6 mins or until just begining to soften.

To make the crumble topping, mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.

Stir in the oats and remaining sugar.

Spoon fruit into a fairly deep dish and cover with crumble mixture.

Bake for 30 mins until the top has nicely browned.

Serve with a nice fat portion of thick cream or custard, yum!

Just downloaded the PDF of this Apple Clumble recipe - what a great idea to add this functionality to the recipes. I am paranoid about having my laptop in the kitchen while I cook in case I spill something on it. This litle stroke of genious means I now dont have to worry about that. Just download the PDF and print......THANKS!

It's in OUNCES! Brilliant! I have yet to decimalise - if imperial measures are ok for the US of A, it's alright for me after a thousand years of British Use!Making this for Hubby this evening, now we've got some ripe apples

the crumble is so much tastier made with brown sugar as opposed to natural white.I also like adding corn flakesto give a more crunchy texture.if you all like crumbles or apple pies then try the Dorset Apple Cake.Its simply divine.

i always make my apple crumble with red eating apples as i find the cooking apples too tart. if you do that you dont need to add sugar to the apples.

Apologies if someone has already replied to you MMerci. Cooking apples are quite tart and on the large side. You wouldn't want to eat them without cooking first as you'd probably end up with stomach ache. If you can't find them in Florida, try substituting 5 med Granny Smith. I haven't made this recipe but I assume the tartness of the apples will balance out the sweetness of the crumble. I make a granny smith apple pie and I love the contrast of tastes. I think Bramleys would be too sweet but I know that they are a trad'l English pie filling. Hope this helped.

Very VERY scrummy recipe, which resulted in a big thumbs-up from my Apple Crumble loving hubby! He especially liked the addition of the Oats. I suspect I shall be making this again and again. Thank you for posting!

Also, delicious to replace half the flour with ground almonds.

quick and simple, oats added that different texture too!

Please tell me what you mean by cooking apples, I am in Florida and have never seen any. I am from England and used to using Bramley apples for desserts.
Eating apples do not work as well.

If you've got an aga its even easier to cook the apples - just put them into and oven proof dish with a little water and sugar and place them in the baking oven for a minimum of 4hrs - they come out absolutely perfect and do not need to be watched while they cook so you can get on with your other preparations

Just what I was looking for... a nice simple Apple Crumble recipe that uses oats!
