Apple Crumble..

After the success of your recipe for Scones, has anyone got a nice recipe for Apple crumble?
Many thanks..

 

Not much interest in Apple Crumble..lol.
Here is the one I used and it was very nice too...

Crumbles are popular British puddings and although there have been lots of additions made to the recipe in over the years, this recipe is for a traditional apple crumble like mother used to make - just wonderful sweetened apples and the traditional fine buttery crumble.


Ingredients

450g/1lb Cooking Apples, peeled and cored (see note below)

75g-100g/3 - 4oz Sugar

Water

For the Crumble

175g/6oz Flour

75g/3oz Butter

100g/4oz Sugar



Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 190C, 375F, Gas mark 5 and grease an ovenproof dish.



2. Cut the apples into 2.5cm/1-inch chunks then place in a saucepan with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Sprinkle over the sugar ( according to how sweet the fruit is) and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.



3. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs then stir in the sugar and mix well.



4. Taste the apple mixture and stir in a little more sugar if necessary, then transfer to the greased ovenproof dish and top with half the crumble mixture pressing firmly.



5. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the top and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Serve hot or cold.

NB If you are using eating apples, reduce the amount of sugar as these will be sweeter than cooking apples.

 

Sorry Gaz, missed that one.

Crumbles defeat me, like to eat em, not made that many of them though.

 

Sounds yummy! I have never made one but sounds pretty easy. Would be good warm with some icecream......... drool.

 

Coming up to Derby now Is that north of Bristol ?

 

Just a bit. If you don't hurry the icecream will melt....

 

Bother.

Great time off the year,plenty of apples around to scrump and Blackberries to forage and freeze......Thats my favorite crumble.....with Ice cream or custard

 

It's even better if you add some flaked almonds to the crumble!

Just as a BTW. Add a bay leaf to the apples when stewing or, if you can get it, some quince - it's probably best to peel and grate the quince into the apple, otherwise (being so hard) it won't cook in the same time as the apple does.

 

BTW Gaz, thanks for putting the old money measures on there. Can't get my head around those metric ones.......
