Apple Crumble

A comforting British classic of tart spiced apples baked beneath a golden, buttery crumble topping, served warm with custard or cream.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F and toss the sliced apples with 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and the cinnamon, then spread them evenly in a buttered 9x9-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and the salt until combined.

  3. 3

    Add the cold cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it forms coarse, pea-sized crumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.

  4. 4

    Scatter the crumble topping evenly over the apples in a thick, loose layer, leaving it craggy rather than pressing it down so it bakes up crisp.

  5. 5

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling visibly around the edges.

  6. 6

    Let the crumble rest for 10 minutes to set, then serve warm with custard, vanilla ice cream, or pouring cream.
