Straight from the oven's mouth - apple crumble!



So, I got these apples from Trentino, an Italian region that is beautiful and that makes good apples.

I ate a lot of them...but some became a bit soft and I like 'em crisp, you know, so I thought I'd make apple strudel.

Problem is, I ain't much of a cook,  so I decided to make apple crumble instead.

This recipe turned out SO GOOD that I am going to share it with you, and if you are a fellow "not-so-good-in-the-kitchen-girl/guy" you'll appreciate it even more.








FOR THE CRUMBLE:

300g plain flower, sieved + pinch of salt
175g brown sugar
200g unsalted butter, cubed at room temp
butter for greasing

FOR THE  FILLING:
400g of apples - cored and cut into 1cm pieces
50g brown sugar
1tbsp plain flower
1 pinch ground cinnamon

PREP
a. preheat oven 180c
b. mix flower + sugar, rubbing into it the butter in cubes til it becomes a crumble
c. place the fruit in large bowl + sprinkle sugar + flower + cinnamon - stir (not breaking fruit)
d. butter 24cm dish - place apples on bottom + sprinkle crumble over it
e. bake for 40 - 45 mins
f. eat it!!! ( if you wanna go that extra mile, serve with thick cream)
