Apple Crumble Recipe
One of the easiest apple desserts. A British classic and so incredibly tasty!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ c flour (all purpose/plain)
- ½ c butter (good quality, salted)
- ¼ c sugar
- 1 lb apples (about 5 Granny Smith, peeled, cored, sliced and steamed) - see notes
Instructions
- Cut the butter into the flour with two knives until the pieces of butter are quite small.
- Finish off mixing the butter into the flour with the tips of your fingers, until it resembles a "crumble" mixture.
- Stir in the sugar.
- Place the steamed apples in a baking dish or individual ramekins and top with the crumble mixture. If using ramekins, place on a baking tray to place the ramekins on before baking.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes at 400°F (205°C) or until top is golden brown.
Notes
- To steam apples, you can put them in a pot with about a tablespoonful of lemon juice (or water) and a tablespoonful of sugar. Over medium heat, and with a lid on, cook the apples for about 4 minutes, tossing gently. You can also put them in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
- Since the cream in the US is very thin, I beat it ever so lightly to get a "double cream" type consistency, so it's a little thicker when pouring it on.
- (Or you can make homemade custard, or use Bird's powder, which Brits have used for many years.)
