Apple Crumble...

So it's been a hot minute! I've had a very busy few months and have been rather slack with the blog! With the slowing down of life as a result of COVID-19, I now have more time to sit down and write.

I thought the best way to ease back in would be to share my recipe for good old fashioned English apple crumble. With Mothers Day coming up this weekend, this crumble could be the piste de resistance to your Sunday lunch you cook for your mum!

Ingredients

Filling

• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced - I like to use granny smith
• 2 tbs of lemon juice
• 2 tbs of caster sugar
• 1/2 cup of water

Crumble

• 2/3 cup of plain flour
• 2/3 cup of caster sugar
• 2/3 cup of rolled oats
• 120g of unsalted butter, chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Combine apples, juice, sugar and water in small saucepan over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until apple is slightly softened.
2. To make the crumble, combine the flour, sugar, oats and butter in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Transfer apples into a 6 cup-capacity ovenproof dish, draining off most of the liquid. Sprinkle crumble mixture over the apples. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
4. Serve warm with ice-cream or my personal favorite, warm vanilla custard.

I'd love to hear how you go with the recipe, it's super quick and easy yet effective. I've made it multiple times now and never had any leftovers!

Take care,
