4 cooking apples
250 g white sugar
200 g plain white flour
120 g butter
1 clove or cinnamon stick
1 wooden spoon
1 pan with lid
1 bowl
1 shallow oven proof serving dish
Serves:
4
Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:

Oven Temperature:
150° c - 300° f

Step 1: Peel the apples
Firstly, peel and core the apples and roughly dice them into chunks.

Step 2: Cook the apples
Put the apple chunks into a pan, add three quarters of the sugar, the cinnamon stick or clove and cover.

Step 3: Stew the apples
Allow to stew gently for half an hour, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Keep checking as they can easily burn at the beginning.

Step 4: Check the apples
Check that the fruit is cooked by mashing it a bit with the wooden spoon. The apples should be soft but not puréed.

Step 5: Allow to cool
Put the apples into the serving dish and allow to cool.

Step 6: Make the crumble
Mix the white flour, remaining sugar and the butter with your fingers in a bowl until it becomes like a breadcrumb consistency.

Step 7: Preheat the oven
Set the temperature of the oven to 150ºC (300ºF/ gas mark 2).

Step 8: Add the crumble topping
Cover the stewed apples with the crumble topping, without pressing down.

Step 9: Cook the apple crumble
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown and crunchy.

Step 10: Serve
Spoon a helping of apple crumble into a dish and serve with cream or ice cream.
