Apple Crumble is one of my favourite puddings to make for one simple reason- its super simple! And it doesn't hurt that Hubby loves it :D
What is also great, is that it can be made in small portions as well as a whole dish. I often make two ramekins of crumble for just the two of us during the week.
Here is my fool-proof recipe, enjoy!
Ingredients
- Apples (aprox 1.5 per person)
- Sugar (or sweetener if you prefer)
- Flour
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
Method
Cut up your apples, pop in a pan, with a cup of water and a table spoon of sugar/ sweetener.
Stew until soft. Now, you have two choices, you can stew until the apples are just soft- how I prefer my crumble- or until you've got apple mush (also very yummy). Obviously the second choice takes longer, so you'll need patience.
Once it's soft, about twenty minutes later, drain excess water and pop the apples into a ceramic dish.
For the topping on a pudding for 4-6 people use a cup and a half of flour and two heaped table spoons of butter, and rub them using your finger tips into the consistency of bread crumbs. Then add a cup of brown sugar. Pour this mixture on top of the apples and bake for 25 minutes.
If you like, add cinnamon into the mixture before pouring it on the apples- yummy!!!
Serve with custard or cream or ice-cream. Like I said, easy, yummy and perfect for week day meals.
