Apple crumble

Apple crumble is a dessert dish originating from British cuisine. It is also popular in other countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The dish is traditionally made with apples baked with a crumbly topping, hence the name 'apple crumble'.

Ingredients

The main ingredient of apple crumble is apples. The variety of apple used can vary, but Bramley apples are often used in the United Kingdom, while Granny Smith apples are popular in the United States. The apples are usually peeled, cored, and sliced before being used in the dish.

The crumble topping is typically made from flour, butter, and sugar, although variations may include oats or nuts. Some recipes also include spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Preparation

To prepare apple crumble, the apples are first cooked with sugar to soften them and enhance their sweetness. The crumble topping is then prepared by rubbing the butter into the flour and sugar until it resembles breadcrumbs. The crumble is then sprinkled over the cooked apples and the dish is baked until the topping is golden and crisp.

Serving

Apple crumble is often served warm, sometimes with accompaniments such as custard, ice cream, or whipped cream. It is a popular dessert for Sunday lunches and other special occasions.

Variations

There are many variations of apple crumble. Some recipes include other fruits such as blackberries, rhubarb, or pears. Others add additional ingredients to the crumble topping, such as oats, nuts, or spices.
