Apple Crumble Known As Apple Cracknell From Sussex Uk Recipes

THE BEST APPLE CRUMBLE

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.
