There is something so comforting about a warm Jamie Oliver Simple Apple Crumble Recipe. It feels like home. It smells sweet and cozy.
Ingredients
For the apple filling:
- 5 medium apples peeled and sliced
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Apples
- Peel and slice the apples into small pieces. Place them in a bowl. Add sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well until coated. This step builds the base flavor.
Arrange the Filling
- Take your baking dish. Spread the apple mixture evenly. Make sure the layer is flat. This helps the apples cook evenly and become soft.
Make the Crumble Topping
- In another bowl, add flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes. Rub with your fingers until it looks like crumbs. Do not overmix.
Add the Topping
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples. Cover the apples fully. Keep the texture loose and crumbly for a crispy top.
Bake the Crumble
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 30–35 minutes. The top should turn golden brown.
Cool Slightly Before Serving
- Remove from the oven carefully. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes. This helps the filling settle and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for better flavor
- Add oats to the topping for extra crunch
- Try adding chopped nuts for a rich texture
- Replace cinnamon with nutmeg for a different taste
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a classic combo
