apple crumble

Apple crumble

A crumble is a topping on any fruit or even a savoury element which resembles bread crumbs. Crumble is a dish of British and Irish origin, although its variants are found all over the world.

Here I am showing my version of the apple pie, which I generally make when I have got, not so firm apples. It hardly takes any time, but once served to your guests, they will go gaga over it. It tastes good on its own, hot or cold, but with vanilla ice-cream its heaven!!!

The ingredients used are simple. Traditionally unsalted butter is used in the recipe and salt is added. But I like to use medium salted butter which gives it a wonderful buttery salty flavour.
Ingredients
• Apples 6
• Sugar ½ cup
• Cinnamon powder ½ tps
• Vanilla essence ¼ tps
For the crumble

• Flour 1 ½ cups

• Butter 1 cup (frozen and cut in cubes)
• Castor sugar ¼ cup

Peel the apples and slice them medium thin. Immediately coat them in sugar. Heat the sugar coated apples till the apples are semi cooked. Add the cinnamon powder and vanilla essence. The cooked apples should not be dry. Don’t cook the sugar too much. It should still be syrupy.

For the crumble.

Take the flour and mix it with the castor sugar. Put in the frozen butter cubes. Using both your hands rub the butter with the flour till the mixture resembles bread crumbs.dont used too much force.

Once the crumble mixture is ready take a baking dish (in which you will be serving as well).

Put the apples first and then the crumble on the top. Bake for 15 to 20 mins in the oven at 180c.

Enjoy this with everyone you love.
