Warm apple crumble

Warm apple crumble
Sliced apples under a buttery rubble. A Sunday pudding from one tray.
Before you cook
A crumble is the British answer to a pie when you do not want to make pastry. Fruit goes in a dish, a rubbed-in mixture of flour, butter, and sugar goes on top, and the oven does the rest. Apple is the ordinary fruit for it.

Ingredients
Tick them off as you go. They reset when you leave.
Shops near you
Use where you are, including when you travel. Nothing is sent until you tap. Or type a suburb. Prices are not listed, because they change every week.
Bagoong, Mang Tomas, Mama Sita’s, and fresh curry leaves are often missing from the big shops. A Filipino or Asian grocer is the backup. Do not swap bagoong for plain salt and expect the same dish.
Method
- 01
Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan).
- 02
Toss the apples with the fruit sugar and cinnamon. Tip them into a baking dish about 20 cm across.
- 03
Rub the butter into the flour, oats, and topping sugar until the mix looks like coarse crumbs.
- 04
Scatter the crumbs over the apples, leaving a few gaps so steam can escape.
- 05
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
- 06
Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Times are a guide. If it needs another minute, give it another minute.
To serve
Warm, with cream or ice cream. Cold from the fridge is a lunchbox, not the first serving.
Keeping it
Keep it covered in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat a portion, or eat it cold. Fine in a lunchbox if it stays cold.
Leftovers
- Crumble and yoghurt
For a parent, a student, or anyone who cooked yesterday.
