Apple Crumble
Ingredients
For the apple filling:
- 6-8 apples
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 tbsp cold butter
For the crumble topping:
- 115 g butter
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds or walnuts
- 1/3 cup muscovado or brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream Optional, for serving
Instructions
- Prep the apples. Peel the apples and cut them into cubes.
- Add the lemon juice. Squeeze the lemon over the apples to keep them from browning and add a touch of brightness.
- Mix the filling. Toss the apples with the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The flour thickens the juices as the crumble bakes.
- Make the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, combine all the topping ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture looks like wet sand.
- Assemble. Transfer the apples to your baking dish, along with all their juices. Dot the cold butter pieces over the top.
- Add the topping. Spread the crumble evenly over the apples.
- Bake. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes at 350°F (170°C), or until the top is golden brown.
- Serve. Take it out of the oven and serve right away with whipped cream or ice cream.
