  • Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates a lovely texture in the final crumble.
  • Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • You can use oat flour instead of plain flour.
  • Some berries can be added to the saucepan along with the apples.
  • For extra texture and flavor, add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping before baking.
  • If you prefer your apples to hold their shape, use firmer varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn; for a softer, saucier filling, try using Gala or Fuji apples.
  • Sprinkle a little demerara sugar on top of the crumble before baking to create a caramelized, crunchy finish.

Expert Tips

  • Adjust the spices in the crumble to your liking. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom all work well with apples.
  • Don't overmix the crumble topping. A few lumps and bumps will ensure a tender, crumbly texture.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent treat.

Storage Instructions

  • Leftover crumble can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes to restore the topping’s crispness; avoid microwaving as it tends to make the topping soggy.
