apple crumble.

July 31th, 2011.

This is one hell of a messy job. Got the recipe from a dear friend, Kyra. You can also see it here, as she always got gorgeous pics. I almost failed when making the crumble. Note to self 9an to you, of course), when rubbing the dry ingredients with butter to make the crumble, make sure you rub it gently so it doesn't turn out to be a dough.

Ingredients:

For the filling
  • 450 g apples (peeled, cored, cut into dices)
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 pinch of ground cinnamon
For the crumble
  • 300 g flour
  • 175 g brown sugar
  • 200 g unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (additional)
Directions:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C
  2. Place the flour and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Taking a few cubes of butter a time, rub into the dry mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles some kind of breadcrumbs.
  3. Place apples in a large bowl and sprinkle over the sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Stir well, being careful not to break the apple.
  4. Butter an ovenproof dish. Spoon the apple mixture into the bottom, and then sprinkle the crumble on top.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crumble is browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling.
  6. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
