Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a subtle Indian twist, add a pinch of cardamom powder or a few crushed cloves to the apple filling along with the cinnamon and star anise to complement the spices and elevate the aroma.
- If you prefer a crunchier topping, mix in a handful of chopped toasted nuts such as walnuts or almonds into the crumble before baking.
- To avoid a soggy bottom, allow the apple mixture to cool slightly before topping with the crumble, or bake the apples for 10 minutes before adding the crumb layer.
- Leftover apple crumble can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the oven to restore the crisp texture of the topping before serving.
