Apple Crumble recipe please and can you cook it from frozen?

Hi all,
Just picked up all the apples that have dropped off the tree and want to make some apple crumbles.

I want to make a few in those little foil tins (like you get from chinese takeaway).

So if I slice and stew the apples a little first and then cover the top with crumble, can I freeze it then and, when I need one, can I cook it straight from frozen.

Also, what is the recipe for crumble, could someone please tell me, I've forgotten.
Thanks

    My crumble mix is -

    8oz s/r flour
    4oz butter/margarine
    4oz caster sugar.

    Ive often frozen our crumbles, and have cooked them defrosted and from frozen!!!! Just make sure its well cooked before serving.

    Yes you can freeze them and cook them as you describe. I tend to freeze crumble mix separately in a bag so I can use it to top all sorts of fruit.
  • Made one last weekend for the first time and figured I'd use the same as I would for pastry, i.e. half the weight of fat to flour, plus sugar to taste. Turned out lovely, although would add a little bit more sugar next time, especially as the fallers were quite tart.

    Mix some oats in the crumble, use brown sugar, and some chopped almonds too. Blimmin lovely! Oooh and a bit of cinnamon too.
