The Best Apple Crumble

PREP:  15 mins  COOKING TIME: 40 mins EASY SERVES: 4

Ingredients:

For the filling:


*575g Bramley apple (3 medium apples), peeled, cored and sliced
to 1 cm thick
*2 tbsp golden caster sugar

For the crumble:


*175g plain flour
*110g golden caster sugar
*110g cold butter

For the topping (optional):


*1 tbsp rolled  oats
*1 tbsp demerara sugar

Method:

1. 1. Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.

2. 2. 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

3. 3. Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.

4. 4. 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).

5. 5. Pour the crumb mix over the the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to
even out.

6. 6. 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.

7. 7. Sprinkle 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over evenly, if you wish.

8. 8. 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.
