A classic that can be pre-baked ahead of time and warmed in the oven when you need it … useful for entertaining and when someone gives you a bag of apples.
Wine Suggestion: Dessert wines often go really well with cooked apples. If you have some Sauternes, Monbazilllac or other late harvest or bortytised dessert wine lying around now’s the time to crack it open.
Classic Apple Crumble – serves 4
- 3 medium-sized Bramley apples – peeled, cored & sliced into 1cm thick slices
- 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
FOR THE CRUMBLE:
- 175g plain flour
- 110g golden caster sugar
- 110g cold butter, diced
- 1 tbsp rolled oats (optional)
Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.
Put the flour and 110g of sugar into a large bowl with the diced butter. Rub the mixture with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs or put the ingredients in a food processor and process until sandy.
Put the apples into a pie dish and toss with the 2 tbsp of sugar. Spread the crumbs over the top and spread out to the edges. Sprinkle the oats over the top if using.
Put the crumble in the oven on a baking tray for 35-40 minutes.
Serve with cream or custard.
