My Mum's Apple Crumble recipe is such a lovely dessert and it was a staple at home growing up in Ireland. My mum and I will show you our favorite recipe!
- 4 medium cooking apples (Bramley or granny smith)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup (4oz/115g) granulated sugar/ caster sugar (divided, half for apples the other half for crumble topping)
- ¾ cup (6oz/170g) all-purpose/plain flour
- ½ cup (3oz/85g) butter (cold and cubed)
-
Peel, core, and chop the apples into 1-2cm chunks.
-
Put the apples into an 8 x 8-inch ovenproof dish. Toss in some lemon juice to stop it from going brown. Sprinkle over half of the sugar.
-
Place the flour and half sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the cold butter and use your hands (or a pastry blender) to rub in the butter until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. Pour this evenly on top of the apples. (The crumble topping can be made a day in advance and it can also be frozen.)
-
Bake the crumble at 350°F (180°C) for 35-45 minutes or until nicely browned on top and the apples are bubbling. Enjoy hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream. Enjoy!
