Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

575g Bramley apple (3 medium apples), peeled, cored and sliced to 1cm thick
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
175g plain flour
110g golden caster sugar
110g cold butter
1 tbsp rolled oats
1 tbsp demerara sugar
double cream , clotted cream or custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.
  • Toss 575g peeled, cored and sliced Bramley apples with 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and put in a 23cm round baking dish at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through.
  • Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.
  • Slice in 110g cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface - rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor until sandy (don't over-process).
  • Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out.
  • Gently press the surface with the back of the fork so the crumble holds together and goes crisp, then lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish.
  • Sprinkle 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over evenly, if you wish.
  • Set on a baking tray and put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples feel very soft when you insert a small, sharp knife. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help the apples to cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to press the crumble topping firmly into the apples. This will help to keep the crumble from falling apart when it's baked.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or custard.

Conclusion:
