Apple Crumble

Recipe: Make This Buttery, Golden Dessert With Cinnamon Apples

Apple crumble lovers know that few desserts are as comforting as tender, cinnamon-spiced apples tucked beneath a golden, buttery topping. If you want to learn how to make apple crumble, this easy apple recipe is a great place to start. The apples soften and release their juices while baking. Serve it warm from the oven as a comforting dessert to round off a family dinner or enjoy on a lazy afternoon. The charm of this classic British dessert lies in its simple ingredients. Apples offer a sweet-tart flavour, while cinnamon brings a cosy warmth, and brown sugar adds a lovely hint of caramel to the topping. A splash of lemon juice adds brightness to the filling, and a bit of cornflour works wonders to thicken the juices that come out while baking. Among comforting apple recipes, this one is especially easy to customise. Choose firm apples that hold their shape, adjust the sugar according to their sweetness, and add a little extra cinnamon if you enjoy a warmer spice profile. Serve the crumble with vanilla ice cream, warm custard or whipped cream for a simple yet special finish.
