How to make an Apple Crumble recipe

Judes kindly sent me vouchers to try out their two new custards. One was Madagascan Vanilla flavoured and the other Belgian chocolate. I thought about what could be nice to try with either custard-flavoured recipe. So the only thing that sprung to mind, which was simple, was baking an apple crumble pie and possibly using brownies for the chocolate custard.

However, I will be showcasing the apple crumble in this blog. I and my Mrs decided to create the apple crumble dessert from scratch. You can have a look at the outcome of our creation below. I have to include having this dessert with the hot custard provided tasted so good.

Here you can follow the method and ingredients that you will need to make this delicious dessert.

Ingredients

For the crumble topping:

• 1 cup flour
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ½ cup of butter cold and cut into small pieces
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
• Lemon zest half a lemon

For the apples:

• Between 4-6 apples, any variety whether peeled, cured or chopped into wedges
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ cup milk

Method

1. Preheat to 350 degrees F
2. Peel and slice the apples into cubes.
3. Place the apples in a pan and toss them in with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Simmer on medium-low heat for about 5 to 10mins minutes until the apples soften slightly.
4. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice for the topping. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently add in the cold butter until the breadcrumb texture is formed.
5. Now pour the apples into a baking dish, and spread them out into an even layer.
6. Pour the milk over the apples.
7. Finally, top the apples evenly with the crumble mixture and bake until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown for about 45-50 minutes.
8. Rotate the container once halfway through cooking.
9. Serve warm with custard and enjoy.

Conclusion

Overall, the final product was pleasing as the crumble was worth waiting for as we indulged in it after having dinner. I also, shared it with the rest of the family as we had almost eaten all of it that was left. This did take 45mins to make, as we were following a recipe through YouTube. Then we had to wait for another 45mins for it to bake in the oven.
