APPLE AND BLACK CURRANT FUDGE CRUMBLE



Apple and Black Currant Fudge Crumble image

As soon as I'm off my diet, I'm going to make this. It's from Leith's Recipe of the Day in the Daily Mail. Notes from the recipe say: blackcurrants are high in vitamin C. And although they can be sharp, that edge is lost in the deliciousness of this crumble. Choose a dish so that the crumble mixture comes to the top, ensuring it browns in the oven. Leith's used 250g hard butter fudge, chopped into small pieces- Sainsbury's Taste the Difference hard butter fudge. The system wouldn't take this descripion.

Provided by Linky

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces plain flour (all-purpose)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
6 ounces butter (or margarine)
1 cup soft brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 lb apple, peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
8 ounces black currants

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, baking powder and salt, then rub in the butter or margarine.
  • Stir in the sugar and oats.
  • Spoon half into the base of a greased and lined 9 in square cake tin (pan).
  • Mix the apples, cornflour and spices and spread over.
  • Top with the Black Currants.
  • Spoon over the remaining mixture and level the top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes until springy.
  • Leave to cool, then cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Cooking apples, such as Bramley or Granny Smith, are best for crumbles as they hold their shape when cooked and provide a tart flavor. Avoid soft or juicy apples, as they will break down too much and release too much liquid.
  • Use fresh blackcurrants: Fresh blackcurrants are best for this crumble, as they have a more intense flavor than frozen or canned currants. If you can't find fresh blackcurrants, you can use frozen or canned currants instead, but reduce the amount of sugar in the crumble topping by half.
  • Make sure the crumble topping is crumbly: The crumble topping should be crumbly, not too dry or too wet. If it's too dry, it will be difficult to spread over the fruit. If it's too wet, it will be too dense and won't have the desired crumbly texture.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling: The crumble is done when the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. The fruit should be soft and tender, but still hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Apple and blackcurrant crumble is a classic British dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart flavor, it's the perfect way to end a meal. Whether you serve it with custard, ice cream, or whipped cream, this crumble is sure to be a hit.
