Apple Crumble is possible one of the most loved desserts … ever!

Well it certainly has been in our family for as long as we can remember.  If ever our grandparents were coming for dinner, they would bring a gigantic Apple Crumble which would have us all begging to eat dessert before dinner.

Nana would have 80% cooked the Apple Crumble before she came.  Then 20 minutes before dessert time she would pop it into the oven to get the apple crumble to warm right through and the topping to become all toasted and crunchy.

Apple Crumble is not only a wonderfully warming Winter dessert … it’s pretty much perfect all year round. Serve it up cold in Summer with lashings of ice cream and lovely cold cream.  Dial up with warming deliciousness in Winter with hot custard or a warm sweet butterscotch or caramel sauce.

Of course you can always mix your Apple Crumble up a little too – add some Rhubarb or Berries, throw a handful of nuts into the crumble topping or to make it absolutely sublime, caramelise the apples in brown sugar in a non-stick pan before adding to the crumble.

We love that this recipe for Apple Crumble is traditional … but also adds a little twist. Who doesn’t love a little flavour surprise when you bite in?

OMG look for the Nestle Top n Fill Caramel added to the apples.  SOOOO GOOD!

Which apples are best for Apple Crumble?

Traditionally Apple Crumble Recipes always called for Granny Smith Apples (or cooking apples as they were always called). They’re crisp, juicy but they are quite tart.  Usually the recipe would then call for sugar to be added to the apples when cooking. We always avoid added processed sugar wherever possible so love using red apples like Pink Lady Apples in our Apple Crumble.
