how to make crumble

NuttyBird

Can you make crumbles Blackberry & Apple (I've just pinched some apples from my Mum and Dads garden!) cook them and then freeze them or do you freeze them uncooked?

Thanks

I freeze mine cooked. Reheat them in the oven (after defrosting) (or even from frozen I think I read somewhere) to keep the topping nice and crisp.

Blackberry crumble works very well.

Another suggestion: Rhubarb and banana (even better with a little orange juice or an orange added to the fruit).

As well as making sweet crumbles it also makes a nice topping if you leave out the sugar for mince (cook mince as normal and make gravy - sprinkle crumble and cook as per normal)

You can also use it on top of chicken/bacon in white sauce or even just veggies in a white sauce.

Somtimes I add cheese or cooked bacon pieces to the crumble.

can someone give me the recipe for a crumble mix?
my 18month old got hold of my shopping and took 'bites' of the apples from the outside of the bag, taking a bite out of seven out of the eight apples so i've chopped the bitten bits off and cut the rest of the apple up for a crumble...what do i do next??

Don't often make apple crumbles, but if I remember correctly....my mother puts some sugar on the apple and cooks them for a while...then puts the crumble on top and cooks it.

For crumble she uses a standard shortcrust pastry mix, but substitutes some of the flour for sugar.

6oz plain flour
3-4oz butter
2oz caster sugar

Rub butter into flour till like breadcrumbs
add and sugar mix well
place over cooked apples

I use 8oz marg to 1lb flour .Rub in to make breadcrumb texture then add 8oz sugar.
If that works out more then you need,keep back some in the fridge and have a really quick pudding next week.(I always make up more than I need - it keeps for a few weeks in the fridge.)
Try tinned pineapple crumble - really quick and easy if you already have some mix!

crumble topping is extra lush with some (a handful or so) of porridge oats mixed in. :drool: :T
