Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams Bramley apples (or other tart cooking apples)
- 100 grams Caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 175 grams Plain flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 75 grams Demerara sugar
- 50 grams Rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) or 170°C (fan). Lightly grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish, approximately 20cm x 20cm, or similar.
Peel, core, and slice the Bramley apples thinly. Spread them evenly in the prepared ovenproof dish.
Sprinkle the caster sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the apples, tossing gently to coat them all in the mixture. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the plain flour and diced cold butter. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Alternatively, pulse the mixture in a food processor until crumbly.
Stir the demerara sugar and rolled oats into the flour and butter mixture until evenly combined. This forms your crumble topping.
Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the prepared apples, making sure all the fruit is covered. Do not press down; leave it light and crumbly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crunchy, and the apples are soft and bubbling underneath.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm on its own or with custard, cream, or vanilla ice cream.
