Apple Crumble Recipe

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 8 ounces (225 grams) self raising flour.
• 4 ounces (112 grams) butter.
• 4 ounces (112 grams) caster sugar (plus some extra to sweeten the apples) 
• 4 - 6 cooking apples – peeled and sliced
• (optional: handful of raisins)

Method

• Put the apples into an oven proof dish and sprinkle with sugar. Cook in a little water until just soft (this can be done in a microwave - usually takes 3 or 4 minutes).
• Put flour, butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon, then use your hands until the mixture resembles bread crumbs; at this point you can, if you wish, add the raisins.
• Sprinkle the crumble mix onto the apples and cook in a moderate oven for approximately 35 minutes, when you remove the crumble from the oven you can sprinkle with a little more sugar for that extra sweetness if you wish! 
• Serve with cream, ice cream or custard.

You can of course use other fruit, or mix with other fruits such as blackberries for apple and blackberry crumble!
