Apple Crumble

Method

0 of 8 steps

Heat the oven to 180°C.
Make the topping: put the flour in a mixing bowl, cut the butter into little pieces and add it. Rub them together with your fingertips until combined and starting to look crumbly.
Stir in the oats and keep rubbing, then add the brown sugar. If the mixture looks a little wet, add a bit more flour.
Chop the nuts and mix them in.
Butter the ramekins.
Peel and core the apples and cut them into cubes of about 1 cm. Put them in a bowl with the orange juice. If you are using cooking apples, add the white sugar as well, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like. Stir to spread the sugar around.
Divide the apple between the ramekins, then sprinkle over the crumble topping lightly, heaping it into a mound in the middle. The apples cook down, so don't press them in.
Bake for about 25 minutes for small ramekins, or about 40 minutes in one big heatproof dish, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling. Leave to cool for a few minutes before eating.

Lovely. Time to eat!
