Apple Crumble

My ever-popular Apple Crumble :). Love and well-liked by friends and family.

Ingredients:

Filling:

4 large apples (cored, peeled and sliced thinly)

50g raisins

45g brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon powder

2 tbsp plain flour

2 tbsp lemon juice

Crust:

250g plain flour

125g butter (preferably salted butter – Golden Churn brand is good)

4 tbsps iced water

Crumbs (top)

100g plain flour

125g butter, softened

45g brown sugar

Method:

1. For the crust: Rub butter with flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Pour iced water a bit at a time until the dough holds together. Wrap dough in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then roll out pastry to fit a 23cm pie tray. Poke the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles when baking.

2. For the filling: Mix flour, cinnamon powder, brown sugar, apples, raisins and lemon juice together into a large mixing bowl. Spread evenly onto the crust.

3. Crumbs: Mix all crumb ingredients with a spatula and sprinkle evenly on top of the filling, totally covering it.

4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180’C for 30 – 35 minutes.

5. Serve with vanilla ice cream (optional)

*if you prefer your apple crumble without its crust, skip the first step and bake it in individual small baking bowls* (like the picture below)
