Apple Crumble

It has been a while since I last baked. It is a public holiday today and I thought I better do some baking and decided to make apple crumble.

. 4 apples

. 100 g white sugar

. 100 g brown sugar

. 200 g plain white flour

. 120 g butter

. 1 cinnamon stick

. 1 tablespoon lemon juice

1) Peel and core the apples and dice them into chunks.

2) Put the apple chunks into a pan, add 3 quarters of the sugar, lemon juice and the cinnamon stick.

3) Stew the apples gently for half an hour, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

4) Check that the apples are cooked by mashing it a bit with the wooden spoon. The apples should be soft and not pureed.

5) Put the apples into the serving dish and allow to cool.

6) Mix the white flour, remaining sugar and the butter with your fingers in a bowl until it becomes like a breadcrumb consistency.

7) Preheat the oven to 180 C.

8) Cover the stewed apples with the crumble topping, without pressing down.

9) Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown and crunchy.

10) Serve with vanilla ice cream or sauce.
