Apple Crumble
An easy traditional British Apple Crumble recipe with soft, cinnamon-spiced apples and a crisp, buttery crumble topping made without oats. Simple, comforting and especially good served warm with custard, cream or ice cream.
Ingredients
- 150 g Plain Flour
- 75 g Block Margarine or Butter (cold; cubed)
- 75 g Demerara Sugar
- 500 g Apples (approx. 4 medium apples; peeled and cored)
- 50 g Caster Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Cornflour
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens, Gas Mark 4 or 350°F).
- 2
In a large bowl, add the flour and butter/margarine, and using your fingertips, gently rub them together until you have a rough, sandy texture. Stir through the demerara sugar. Set aside while you prepare the filling.

Roughly chop your apples into bite-sized pieces and place them into another large bowl. Add the sugar, cinnamon & cornflour and toss through until the apples are covered.

Place your coated apples into your dish, making sure it covers the bottom and that there are no big gaps - you want it fairly well compacted.
- 5
Spoon the crumble mixture over your apples, being sure to cover all the lumps and bumps. Using the tips of your fingers, gently press the top of the crumble mixture to help compact it, while leaving a bumpy texture on top.

Bake your crumble in your preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden on top.

Allow your crumble to cool a little before serving. Enjoy with custard or ice cream, or just on its own.
