Tips
Add a few flaked almonds to the crumble mixture of an extra special nutty flavour. Depending on the apples, you may need to add a teaspoon or two of sugar to the apples when you put them in the tin as cooking apples can be very sour. Remember the bigger the chunks of appel the longer they will take to cook through and go soft so try to cut them quite small (say the size of a 50 pence piece)

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!

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!
