Ingredients

For the crumble

300g/10½oz plain flour, sieved
pinch of salt
175g/6oz brown sugar
200g/7oz unsalted butter at room temperature, cubed, plus a little for greasing

For the filling

450g/1lb apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1cm/½in pieces (see recipe tip)
50g/2oz brown sugar
1 tbsp plain flour
1 pinch of ground cinnamon

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
Place the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Taking a few cubes of butter at a time rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs and all the butter is incorporated.
Place the fruit in a large bowl and sprinkle over the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir well, being careful not to break up the fruit.
Butter a 24cm/9in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the fruit mixture into the bottom, then sprinkle the crumble mixture on top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes until the crumble is browned and the fruit mixture bubbling.
Serve with thick cream or custard.

Recipe Tips

Bramley apples will turn to a lovely fluff underneath your crumble, in this recipe with toffee-ish brown sugar. If you want a crumble with distinct apple pieces, use a dessert apple and reduce the sugar quantity.
