In class we made fruit crumble it was really good as well as sweet. Our pair worked well. I would definitely do this again.

½ c Flour                                                           

½ t Cinnamon                                              

½ c Brown Sugar (not packed)

65 g cold Butter (cut into small cubes)                                                                           

½ c Rolled Oats (Wholegrain oats)

1 – 2 medium sized Apples (cooking apples eg Granny Smith work well)

1 D White Sugar

1. Put flour, cinnamon and brown sugar into a medium bowl.

4. Peel and quarter the apples. Cut core out and slice each quarter  into thin slices.

5. Place into a greased pie dish.

6. Sprinkle with white sugar and water.

7. Spoon this mixture evenly over the apples to cover them.

8. Bake on Fan bake for 10 -15 min or until the edge is going brown.

Remember to prepare the crumble topping first before preparing the apples. 

Work quickly to lightly rub in butter so the mixture stays as cool as possible.

Place prepared apples in cold lightly salted water to stop it going brown. Drain well before putting the apple into the pie dish.

You can use other fruit: pears, fresh or frozen berries, peaches, cooked rhubarb etc.

Cooking times can sometimes vary from 15 -20+ minutes.

Allow the cooked Apple Crumble to sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Serve with custard, yoghurt or ice cream. 

The uncooked crumble topping freezes well in a bag for later use.
