Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Irish
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients
  • 4 medium (1 lb 6oz/730 g) cooking apples (Bramley or Granny Smith)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • ¾ cup (6 oz/170 g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
  • ½ cup (3 oz/85 g) butter , cold and cubed
Instructions
  1. Peel, core, and chop the apples into 2 cm chunks.

  2. Put the apples into an 8 x 8-inch ovenproof dish. Toss in some lemon juice to stop it from going brown. Stir in ¼ cup (2 oz/58 g) of sugar.

  3. Place the flour and the remaining ¼ cup (2 oz/58 g) 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.

  4. 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.
