Apple Crumble

Ingredients:
1lb Self Raising Flour
8oz Sugar
8oz Margarine

Apples
Sugar
Cinnamon

Mix flour, sugar and margarine together to make crumbs. You can do this by hand or even easier in the machine.


These crumbs freeze very well so I like to do a batch and keep some in the freezer so I could always throw together a dessert lastminute.com! Even after making a batch I still had leftover crumble so I've frozen it!

The official recipe uses cooking apples, but I like to use golden delicious because they aren't as bitter.

Peel and core apples. Leave them in cold water whilst you are preparing the other apples so they dont go brown.

I used 20 apples and this was enough for a medium crumble and 24 small ones.

Once you have peeled and cored all the apples, you can either chop them or grate them. (By hand or machine).

Sprinkle a generous amount of sugar on apples and a small sprinkle of cinnamon (more if you like more). Mix well. At this stage the apples will be a bit brown because of the cinnamon but you need to work quickly so that the apples dont go brown themselves. Make sure you have done your toilet break etc before you start grating the apples.



Put a little bit of the crumble mixture at the bottom of each container.

Next, put some of the apple mixture.

Top with a generous amount of crumble mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.



A large one:




Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes. (smaller ones shorter time, larger ones longer time).

These freeze very well, just defrost and heat up when ready to serve.

Serve Hot!

Et Voila!
