I made apple crumble today! :D my mom used to make it once in a while, and it tasted so good! And since I had a few apples to spare, might as well try it myself, right?
Ingredients
- melted butter, to grease
- approx 1 3/4 cups of plain flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 180g butter, chilled and cubed
- 2/3 cups brown sugar
- 4 apples
- 1/2 tbsp caster sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven at 190 Celcius.
Use the melted butter to grease your ovenproof dish.
Combine the flour and 1 tbsp ground cinnamon in a bowl. Add butter and rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips, until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs. If it turns out like dough no matter how hard you try though, add more flour to the mix! Stir in brown sugar.
Take off the skin of the apples, take out the core and cut the apples into bite-sized pieces (or into 1.5cm wide wedges if you prefer). Place them into the dish. Combine the caster sugar and the remaining 1/2 ground cinnamon and mix well, coating the apples.
Bake it in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, but check it during the 20 minute mark to make sure it doesn't burn. When cooked, the cumbed topping will be golden andthe apples are tender but still hold their shape when tested with a knife.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or cold custard :D
Also, apparently the best apples to use for any crumbles or pies/tarts are Golden delicious, jonagold, lady williams and sundowner, but any apples are fine if you can't find any!
You can also substitute the apples for bananas to have banana crumble instead, or even mix them both! :D
Below are pictures for banana crumble, which my mom made sometime early this year:
And lastly, enjoy!~ :D
