A is for Apple, A A Apple!

I can't get this damn alphabet song out of my head. Our youngest is always singing it. God forbid if the cd changes in the car and the next one is hers.... there's no stopping it!!!

Just thought I'd share this delicious  recipe for apple crumble. I know crumbles conjure up thoughts of chilly autumn days, chestnuts, apples, woolly socks and roaring fires.
But hey, I'm in Hong Kong, so unfortunately none of that.

This crumble is easy to whip up  and always gets devoured.

Apple crumble (serves 4-6)

Filling :

1.2kgs apples ( I use granny smith)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
Half Tbsp corn flour

Crumble

3/4 cup of plain flour
3/4 cup of oats
3/4 cup sugar
113g  cold butter

Peel, core and chop apples into chunks. Place into large bowl, add sugar and corn flour. Toss to coat. Place in baking dish.

Pulse all the crumble ingredients in a food processor. If you don't have one, the butter can be rubbed into flour, sugar and oats, until it resembles bread crumbs. You can also add cinnamon if you like.

Spread topping over your fruit mixture. Place crumble into preheated oven on 190° and bake 45 minutes until bubbly and brown.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or custard or gently whipped cream, whatever takes your fancy.
We always have it with yummy vanilla Haagen Dazs.

Bon appetit
