🍎 Apple Crumble

35-40 minutes

1. Preheat the oven to 190 C (or 170 C for fan ovens).
2. Peel and core green apples(575), and blend them lightly in a food processor so it's still a bit chunky, don't go too smooth. Place in a 23cm round or 20cm square baking dish at least 5cm deep. Flatten with a spoon to prevent too much crumble from falling through.
3. In another bowl, combine plain flour(262.5), demerara sugar(165), and a pinch of salt(some). You can optionally add a sprinkle of cinnamon(1) to the mixture.
4. Add cold butter(165), sliced into tiny pieces, and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles moist breadcrumbs. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor until sandy (do not over-process).
5. Pour the crumble mixture over the apples, forming a pile in the center. Use a fork to even it out.
6. Gently press the surface with the back of the fork to help the crumble hold together and crisp up. Lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish.
7. Place the dish on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the apples are soft when tested with a small, sharp knife.
8. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
9. Serve with double(some) cream, clotted(some) cream, or custard(some) as desired.
