Overview
Perfect Apple Crumble
By Amy // Posted May 29th, 2021 // Category Baked Desserts
It’s the best time to make an apple crumble at the start of winter. Not only are apples in season, but nothing can quite beat a bowl of warm apple crumble when it’s so cold and grey outside.
My Perfect Apple Crumble has tender baked syrupy apples topped with crunchy oat crumble. I’m a big fan of good textures and this ones a winner.
Also, it’s so quick and easy to make with minimal mess. The only tedious part is when you peel and slice the apples.
I’d recommend that you always serve it warmed with a generous scoop of ice cream.

1. Which apples to use?
You need to use apples that can keep its structure after baking. If you like tart apples, Granny Smith, Pink Lady or Fuji would all work well. Other sweeter apples that bake beautifully are Jazz, Modi and Royal Gala.
2. Make it vegan!
Instead of using cow butter, you can use a plant oil based spread. I sometimes use spreads like Nuttelex as a substitute and it still tastes great!
3. Adjust the sweetness
I guess this dessert is on the sweet side. If sweet isn’t your thing, you could more or less halve the sugar in the filling and in the topping.
4. Make it in advance
You can prepare the apple crumble up to 2 days in advance. You just need to keep it in covered in the fridge and bake it at the same temperature and time as the recipe says.
5. Serve warm
I think apple crumbles taste best warm. It’s best to reheat your crumble in the oven for the crumble crunch, but microwaving does the job as well. Don’t forget to add a scoop of ice-cream, custard or cream on top.
Preheat the oven to 180C (355F). Grease a baking dish (I used a 28cm square, 7 cm deep dish) and set aside.
Peel, core and cut all the apples into thin wedges. Place the apples into the baking dish.
Put the white sugar, flour, and cinnamon into a bowl and mix it with a fork. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples and coat all the apples evenly. Pour in the water and lemon juice over the apples and coat all the apples evenly.
Place all the topping ingredients into a big bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined. Sprinkle the crumble over the prepared apples and small chunks of dough are formed.. Bake for around 35 minutes or until the crumble turns a nice golden brown.
Serve warm with some vanilla ice-cream. Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Heat in the microwave or oven before serving again.
