A classic British crumble with melt-in-your-mouth apples topped by a buttery, golden, and crumbly crust. Simple, comforting, and perfect served warm.
Ingredients
- 700 g Baking apples, such as Golden Delicious or Russet
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Fine salt
- 150 g T55 all-purpose flour
- 100 g Cold unsalted butter
- 80 g Brown sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven on conventional or convection setting until it is very hot, then lightly butter a household baking dish.
- Peel and core the apples, then cut them into even pieces so they cook evenly.
- Toss the apples with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and fine salt until the pieces are slightly glossy and fragrant.
- Spread the apples in the dish in an even layer without packing them down, allowing the juices to bubble during baking.
- In a bowl, rub the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with a few small flakes of butter visible.
- Stir the brown sugar into the sandy crumble mixture, mixing briefly to keep a light and uneven texture.
- Scatter the crumble over the apples, leaving a bumpy surface, as the textured peaks will become crispier in the oven.
- Bake until the top is deep golden, the edges are bubbling, and the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to thicken slightly while the crust remains crumbly.
