Heyo and Welcome to the eigth edition of What Baking Can Do.
This blog will be full of recipes and tasty treats that you can make - hoping you have the ingredients! I hope that you will enjoy these blogs and perhaps you can even try a couple of recipes at home yourselves! :D
Now, my next recipe will be...
To begin with, I think we're going to need the ingredients...yes...that may be a good idea. SO, the things that you are going to need in order to make this apetising apple crumble...
- 575g Bramley apple (3 medium apples), peeled, cored and sliced to 1 cm thick
- 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 175g plain flour
- 110g golden caster sugar
- 1 tbsp rolled oats
- 1 tbsp demerara sugar
- If you have any dietary requirements then you can substitue some of these ingredients for ones that they may have in the store to suit your needs. For example, changing normal butter into dairy butter for those who cannot have ordinary milk.
And now for the messy part, the baking!
Firstly, you will need to make sure that all the ingredients have been measured out accurately. Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5. Toss 575g peeled, cored and sliced Bramley apples with 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and put in a 23cm round baking dish at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through. Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Slice in 110g cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface – rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor until sandy (don’t over-process).
Once this is done, Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out. Gently press the surface with the back of the fork so the crumble holds together and goes crisp, then lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish. Sprinkle 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over evenly, if you wish. Set on a baking tray and put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples feel very soft when you insert a small, sharp knife. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
