This
winter weather has me craving for yummy warm desserts. Apple Crumble
has to be a favourite of almost everybody.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like it.
Here is Rachael’s "sweetest thing" favourite for the series. I was quite
surprised by Rachael’s choice as she has become very well known in baking
circles for her Lemon Slice – it’s almost world famous! Maybe she will let me share that with you one
day.
But for now this
Apple Crumble is a family recipe handed down from her mum, who can't quite recall the exact origins of how it came about. My
guess is it is one of those authentic traditional recipes that has been around
forever and a day passed on from generation to generation. Delightful,
delicious and you definitely need to make it this weekend.
What you need;
4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup processed oat bran or multi bran cereal
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
60 grams butter
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoon sunflower seeds
What you do;
Stew* apples until soft. Place into ovenproof dish.
Combine sugar and mixed spice and mix into apples.
In a food
processor, combine oats, bran, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Process until
mixed to a crumble. Add almonds and
sunflower seeds and mix well.
Sprinkle
crumble topping over apples, pressing mixture lightly together.
Bake in
moderate oven for 30 minutes.
To complete this "sweetest thing" I
would serve warm with a massive scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of
thickened cream – preferable double thick!
So naughty.
Thanks
Rach. Enjoy Friends. Xx
*To stew apples - peel and chop apples, put them in a pot add a little
water and leave them on a medium/low heat, keep an eye on them so the pan does
not boil dry. If you would like some
extra sweetness mix both cooking and eating apples.
