Why use this Apple Crumble recipe?

There are tons and tons of Apple Crumble recipes out there. This recipe doesn’t have any groundbreaking techniques or secret ingredients. But it works, tastes great and it makes an Apple Crumble that is everything it should be. Specifically:

1. The apple filling is not dry or watery. It is made ever so slightly jammy/syrupy with the addition of flour mixed with the usual sugar (plus cinnamon for fragrance). Just a bit of flour really makes a difference; and

2. The crumbly topping bakes up beautifully crisp but is not dry or doughy or overly sweet. It crumbles when you serve it – hence the name 😉 – but it doesn’t disintegrate, there are chunks that hold together. Think chunky muesli/granola – like that. But softer. 🙂

Step By Step Recipe:

Peel and cut golden apples into chunks. You have to decore apples before you chop for that I had used a crystal all-purpose knife

Put the apple chunks into a pan, add three-quarters of the brown sugar, the cinnamon stick or clove and cover.

Allow to stew gently till it turns a little soft, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Keep checking as they can easily burn at the beginning. Check that the fruit is cooked by mashing it a bit with a wooden spoon. The apples should be soft but not puréed. Put the apples into the serving dish and allow them to cool. Set the temperature of the oven to 150 C.

For Flour and butter :

Mix the flour, remaining sugar and the butter with your fingers in a bowl until it becomes like a breadcrumb consistency. Add chopped nuts to the mixture.

Cover the stewed apples with the crumble topping, without pressing down. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown and crunchy. Spoon a helping crumble into a dish and serve with cream or ice cream.
