Simple apple crumble with oat topping
Simple apple crumble topped with oats is a classic British dessert. Perfect with cream, custard or ice cream apple crumble is a wonderful pudding for any time of year.
Ingredients
- 1 kg cooking apples (around five) peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 175 g plain or wholemeal flour I like spelt flour
- 125 g dairy free spread or unsalted butter
- 100 g brown sugar
- 75 g oats
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C (fan)/180°C/gas mark 4. Put your prepared 1 kg of apples in a pan with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just starting to go soft. This should take around 5-10 minutes. You may need to add a little water to stop it from sticking - just a few drops will do.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish.
- Rub together 175g plain flour with 125g spread or butter with your fingertips (or in a food processor) in a mixing bowl until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the 100g brown sugar and 75g oats and spread the crumble over the top of the fruit.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until brown on top.
