Apple Crumble

I have had this recipe in a notepad for a couple of years now always meaning to make it someday. That ‘someday’ finally came the other day :-).

Since I have never had apple crumble ever I was a wee bit unsure of how this would turn out so I halved all the ingredients. But boy, was I happy with the result and so were all at home. I will gladly double these proportions the next time. Here’s for the recipe...

Ingredients

250 grams apples (1 large),

½ cup whole wheat flour,

50 grams salted butter,

3 tbsp sugar ,

A pinch of salt,

A few drops of lemon juice,

Method

Wash peel and chop the apples. Add a few drops of lemon juice to prevent browning. Mix in 1 tbsp sugar and cook on a low fire until soft and mushy. Set aside to cool.

Mix salt and 1 tbsp sugar with the flour. Lightly mix in the butter with your fingers, do not knead. Mix till the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Layer the cooked apples evenly in a baking dish. Layer the flour mixture evenly on top and press down gently. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top.

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180^oC. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 mins.

Slice and serve. It tastes best when warm.
