Annie’s Apple Crumble

Annie’s Apple Crumble

Our neighbours had given us a huge tray of apples… to be honest I didn’t expect it to come this early, I thought apples are more an autumn fruit!

Anyway I turn to my trusted crumble recipe originated from BBCgoodfood website. I’ve made a few changes myself and here’s my adopted version.

Notes

When stewing apples, you don’t want the apples to be totally mushy as they carry on cooking in the oven. 

The kids love this and will happily eat 2 bowls drowned with double cream in one setting… let me know how you like yours and what adaptation have you done to yours!

I’m planning to post some more harvest related recipes with courgettes, tomatoes and more apples recipes, so please keep your eyes peeled for those!
