how to make crumble

Just chop them, toss with sugar so they have a light coating. Put in a baking dish, top with crumble (just 4oz butter, 8oz flour and 3oz sugar -don't buy a packet as you've probably got all the ingredients in). Bake at 180 for 30-40 mins.

Cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg are nice additions to the apples or crumble. Sultanas or mincemeat are nice too.

Hi kelly,

There's lots of discussion on how everyone does the apples in this earlier thread that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the ideas together.

I don't think anyone can make crumble as bad as my OH, I told him what went in it, he even got the delia cookbook out and decided it was going to have oats in too, about an hour later he was complaining that it wasn't going brown, turns out he forgot the butter

So it was about a cm of apple sauce covered by about the same of flour with a few oats in! :rolleyes: At least he's trying I suppose

Apologies if this question has been asked before.

I've got some frozen fruit - how do I prepare the crumble? Do I need to do anything to it or just cover with the crumble mix?

Thanks!
Amanda

You might want to add sugar depending on what kind of fruit you have -I usually do. And it may need a bit longer cooking if you're doing it from frozen.

It has probably been said before but it is really worth making a big batch of crumble topping and freezing it in a bag. You can then pour it directly on your fruit and straight into the oven with it.

If you always have crumble in the freezer and fresh, frozen or tinned fruit (tinned peaches are great in crumble) around then you're only 30 mins away from a hot pudding.

I'm making apple crumble tomorrow. I have Bramley cooking apples. Do I peel them?

thriftlady_2

Yes, unless you like eating the peel.
