Straight from a British Home! Easy Apple Crumble
- 1 large Apple
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 100 grams Flour (cake flour)
- 50 grams Butter
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 150 ml Milk
- 20 grams Sugar
- 1 dash Vanilla essence or rum (optional)
- If you plan to make custard then take the milk out of the fridge and allow it to warm to room temperature in advance.
- Slice the apple into 6-8 equal pieces and remove the core.
- Then cut the pieces into 5 mm thick wedges.
- It doesn't matter if you don't peel them.
- Coat the apples in sugar and cinnamon powder and pack them into the bottom of a heat-resistant dish (I used light brown sugar).
- Place the flour and butter into a plastic bag and rub together with your fingers until it becomes like fine panko (don't worry if a few lumps remain).
- Mix the sugar into the mixture from Step 4 (this amount of sugar will make the crumble quite sweet so you can reduce it if you wish).
- Lay the crumble over the apples from Step 3, and press it down with the palms of your hands to even out the surface.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180C until the surface is golden.
- This should take approximately 40 minutes.
- Custard Combine the eggs, sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small saucepan and stir until smooth.
- Warm the remaining milk in a microwave for 40 seconds without letting it boil.
- Then pour it into the saucepan a little at a time.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to stir, without letting the mixture boil, until it thickens.
- When thick, stop the heat and add a dash of rum to finish.
- Serve a portion of crumble in a dish with some hot custard.
