Adaptable Fruit Crumble

If there are pears or apples in the fruit bowl, flour in the pantry and butter in the fridge, then apple crumble is on the menu. It really is the best dessert – simple, wholesome and satisfying.

This crumble topping is nicely adaptable, we’ve used almonds here, but switch them with rolled oats, coconut flakes or leave them out altogether! Crumbles are a real crowd pleaser, so make it your signature move. Cook it for the kids, serve it at a dinner party or whip one up for afternoon tea.

Step 1
Preheat the oven 170°C. Make sure you have an oven rack in the middle or lower part of the oven. Peel, core and dice the apples into 2cm cubes and place into a shallow, medium-sized ovenproof baking dish, about 22x16cm. Sprinkle the apples with the flour, white sugar and squeeze over the juice of half a lemon, then mix well and set aside.

Step 2
To make the crumble, combine plain flour and baking powder in a bowl. Rub the chopped butter into flour mixture to form small, pea-sized pieces – it should resemble slightly damp sand. Roughly chop the almonds and add to the crumble along with the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix to combine, maintaining a crumbly texture.

Step 3
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Bake in the middle or lower rack of the oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crumble is nicely browned, the apples are tender and the dish is bubbling at the edges. If the fruit needs a little longer, cover the crumble with foil and cook for another 5-10 minutes.

Step 4
Serve as is, or with ice-cream, cream or yoghurt.
