Apple Crumble Recipe
(serves 6)
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) self-raising flour.
- 4 oz (115g) butter.
- 4 oz (115g) caster sugar (plus some extra to sweeten the apples)
- 4-6 cooking apples – peeled and sliced
- (optional: handful of raisins)
Method
- Put the apples into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with sugar. Cook in a little water until just soft (this can be done in a microwave - usually takes 3 or 4 minutes).
- Put flour, butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon, then use your hands until the mixture resembles bread crumbs; at this point you can, if you wish, add the raisins.
- Sprinkle the crumble mix onto the apples and cook in a moderate oven for approximately 35 minutes. When you remove the crumble from the oven you can sprinkle with a little more sugar for that extra sweetness if you wish!
- Serve with cream, ice cream or custard.
You can of course use other fruit, or mix with fruits such as blackberries for apple and blackberry crumble!
