One of my personal favorite desserts is a delicious apple and cinnamon crumble. My Mum makes a great crumble so it’s only fitting that we have a great crumble recipe too. For me, the perfect crumble should have a little more fruit filling compared to the crumble. The crumble should be a little crunchy and the fruit soft, sweet and sticky.
Apple and Cinnamon Crumble.
Ingredients
- Crumble *Toppping:*
- 240g Plain Flour
- 120g Caster Sugar
- 160g Unsalted Butter (room temperature cut into pieces)
- Fruit *Filling:*
- 800g Cooking Apples (roughly 5 large apples, pealed, cored and cut into 2cm chunks)
- 60g Unsalted Butter
- 50g Soft Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to gas mark 5 (190c).
- In a bowl, add all the crumble ingredients and rub together to make a "breadcrumb".
- Put this to one side and start to prepare the filling.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon and butter to a pan and gently heat until it looks like golden syrup.
- Mix in the chunks of apple and cook them for a few minutes so they start to soften.
- Pour the apple mix into a shallow bowl.
- Carefully sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apples.
- Pop in the oven for 25 minutes or until the crumble has gone golden and the fruit is bubbling along the edges of the bowl.
- Leave to cool, serve and enjoy!
For our apple crumble we use a heart shaped pie dish that we purchased from Next many moons ago. They don’t sell the exact one anymore, though this one is very close if only a little smaller. Personally I love fresh custard with my crumble, though you can’t go wrong with a nice big scoop of ice cream on the top while the crumble is still piping hot!
