THE BEST EVER APPLE CRUMBLE



The Best Ever Apple Crumble image

Obviously any sort of fruit can be used here. I love it with berries or apricots in summer, in spring it's good with rhubarb, and in autumn I use half blackberries and half apples. Whatever fruit you use, though, the great thing about the topping is that it bakes to a lovely short, crumbly crispness, which, combined with the toasted almonds, makes it the best ever.

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

700g Bramley apples
225g Cox's apples
25g light brown soft sugar
1 level teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
75g chilled salted butter, cut into small dice
175g self-raising flour
1 level dessertspoon ground cinnamon
110g demerara sugar
110g whole almonds, skin on
Clotted cream or Isigny Ste Mere creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Begin by preparing the apples. I always find the best way to do this is to cut them first into quarters, then pare off the peel with a potato peeler (or leave it on, whichever you prefer) and slice out the cores. Now cut them into thickish slices and toss them in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and ground cloves, then place them in the baking dish. For the crumble all you do is place the butter, sifted flour, cinnamon and sugar in a processor and give it a whiz till it resembles crumbs. Next add the almonds and pulse, until they are roughly chopped and chunky. If you don't have a food processor, in a large bowl, rub the butter into the sifted flour until it resembles crumbs, then stir in the cinnamon, sugar and almonds, which should be roughly chopped by hand. Now spoon the crumble mixture all over the apples, spreading it right up to the edges of the dish, and, using the flat of your hands, press it down quite firmly all over; the more tightly it is packed together the crisper it will be. Then finish off by lightly running a fork all over the surface. Bake the crumble on the centre shelf of the oven for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is well browned and crisp. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes before serving with well-chilled crème fraîche or clotted cream.

RHUBARB, ALMOND AND GINGER CRUMBLE



Rhubarb, Almond and Ginger Crumble image

Rhubarb is never better than in this most English of puddings. On Sundays we serve it with proper custard, an extra luxurious addition, see recipe below. This recipe also works well with topped-and-tailed-gooseberries.

Categories     Rhubarb     Easy Entertaining     Desserts

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb (900 g) rhubarb
4 oz (110 g) golden caster sugar
1 rounded teaspoon grated fresh root ginger
4 oz (110 g) whole almonds, skin on
3 oz (75 g) chilled butter, cut into small dice
6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour, sifted
2 level teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 level teaspoon ground ginger
4 oz (110 g) demerara sugar
custard or pouring cream

Steps:

  • Begin by preparing the rhubarb. First of all wash it, then trim off the leaves and cut the stalks roughly into 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Next, toss them in a bowl with the sugar and freshly grated root ginger, then place them in the baking dish and keep on one side. Now make the crumble, which couldn't be simpler, as it is all made in a food processor. All you do is place the butter, sifted flour, cinnamon, ground ginger and sugar in the processor and give it a whiz till it resembles crumbs. Next, add the almonds and process again, not too fast, until they are fairly finely chopped and there are still a few chunky bits. If you don't have a processor, in a large bowl, rub the butter into the sifted flour until it resembles crumbs, then stir in the almonds, which should be fairly finely chopped by hand, cinnamon, ginger and sugar. Now you need to press the rhubarb very firmly with your hands all over the base of the dish to spread it evenly without too many large lumps sticking out. Then simply sprinkle the crumble mixture all over the rhubarb, spreading it right up to the edges of the dish, and, using the flat of your hands, press it down quite firmly all over; the more tightly it is packed together the crisper it will be. Then finish off by lightly running a fork all over the surface. Now bake the crumble on the centre shelf of the oven for 35-40 minutes, by which time the rhubarb will be soft and the topping golden brown and crisp. Leave it to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving, then serve it warm with custard, pouring cream or ice cream.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a combination of sharp and sweet apples. This will give the crumble a balanced flavor.
  • If you don't have any fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb instead. Just thaw it before using.
  • Be sure to rinse the rhubarb well before chopping it. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • If you don't have any demerara sugar, you can use granulated sugar instead. However, demerara sugar will give the crumble a more golden brown color.
  • Don't overmix the crumble topping. This will make it tough.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Serve the crumble warm with custard, ice cream, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Delia Smith's apple rhubarb crumble is a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With its sweet and tangy filling and crispy crumble topping, this crumble is sure to please everyone.
