Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.
- Toss 575g peeled, cored and sliced Bramley apples with 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and put in a 23cm round baking dish at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through.
- Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.
- Slice in 110g cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface - rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor until sandy (don't over-process).
- Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out.
- Gently press the surface with the back of the fork so the crumble holds together and goes crisp, then lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over evenly, if you wish.
- Set on a baking tray and put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples feel very soft when you insert a small, sharp knife. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH APPLE CRUMBLE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel, core, and chop apples into chunky pieces. Don't cut apples too small because when cooked they could disintegrate, and you want the cooked fruit to have some texture.
- Place apples in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, if using.
- Arrange apples into a shallow baking dish, approximately 9 x 7 inches. Reserve.
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large baking bowl, place flour and sugar. Cut butter into small pieces and add to bowl.
- Using your hands, rub butter into flour and sugar until you have a very coarse mixture. It doesn't have to feel or look even, as this is quite a rustic dish and works well with an irregular texture.
- Alternatively, make crumble mixture in a food processor by placing all topping ingredients into processor and pulsing until you get a coarse mixture. Do not overmix.
- Evenly sprinkle topping over apples, but be sure there aren't parts of topping that are too thick as it will not crisp up, nor allow apples to cook nicely.
- Place dish into preheated oven and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. The apples will appear bubbling through from underneath.
- Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream.

A different version of an old favourite apple crisp or apple crumble! Posted by request. Recipe posted as written, the amount of brown sugar is 'to taste', depends on the type and sweetness of your apples. I find 1/4 to 1/2 cup is enough for my 'taste'. Source: Favourite Sussex Recipes by Pat Smith

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180 Deg C. Peal and core apples, cut half into thin slices, half into small cubes. Put in a large bowl, mix with dark brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
- Put flour and sugar in a bowl, rub in the butter until it is like thick bread crumbs.
- Put filling into a pie dish, pour crumble topping on top, press down lightly then make patterns with a fork. Fleck with butter and (sparingly) and dust with golden sugar.
- Bake for 40 minutes then serve with custard.
Tips:
- Choose crisp, firm apples: Varieties like Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp are good choices. They won’t break down completely and will retain their shape in the crumble.
- Don’t overwork the crumble topping: The texture should be crumbly, not too fine. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour and sugar until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Bake the crumble until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover it with foil.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or custard: The warm filling and cold ice cream create a delicious contrast in temperature and texture.
Conclusion:
Apple crumble is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its sweet and tart filling and crumbly topping, it is the perfect comfort food for a cold day. Whether you are using a traditional recipe or trying a new variation, you are sure to enjoy this delicious dessert.
