Luckily everyone in my family loved them! Although I was guttered that we didn't have any eggs so I couldn't make a homemade custard to go with it. Never the less it tasted just fine, well judging by the empty plates anyway.
The recipe for this apple crumble was as follows:
Ingredients:
For the crumble:
150g Rolled Oats (Blitz till fine)
150g Breadcrumbs (I blitz a loaf of fresh wholemeal bread until it resembled breadcrumbs)
150g Butter (Cold from the fridge, diced)
100g Soft Brown Sugar
1-2tsp Ground Cinnamon
A pinch of grated Nutmeg
For the apple filling:
750g Apples (peeled, cored and cut into chunks)
4tbsp Soft Brown Sugar
A squeeze of Orange Juice
1) Preheat the oven to gas mark 5.
2) Firstly to make the crumble topping put all the ingredients into a bowl, excluding the butter and mix till well combined.
3) Add the diced butter to the dry ingredients and using your fingertips blend the ingredients together until it resembles quite large looking breadcrumbs.
4) Set aside until needed.
5) For the apple filling put the apples, sugar, orange juice and the butter into a saucepan and stirring occasionally leave the apples to soften for 5 minutes.
6) In a shallow dish pour the apple mixture inside, get your crumble topping and spread evenly over the top.
7) Bake for 40-45 minutes.
8) Best enjoyed whilst hot.
I included step 8 (best enjoyed whilst hot) because this is very true, it feels so much like comfort food when eating it pipping hot with a mug of warm milk, mmmmmm yum. However it is still nice the next day, I recommend that you re-heat it as believe me, when it is pipping hot it is very very scrummy. And if the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away then I will defiantly be making this more often (yes it doesn't count) But I can use that as an excuse for baking apple crumble frequently, cant I?
