Apple Crumble Recipe
This warming fruit dessert is quick and easy to make. We don't like the crumble topping to go soggy, so the apple layer is moist but not watery. If you prefer, you can use brown sugar in the topping instead of white sugar. We like to serve our crumble with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and/or custard.
Serves 6.
4 medium apples (we used Granny Smith apples)
40ml (2 tablespoons) water
38g (2 tablespoons) sugar
Topping
75g (1/2 cup) plain flour
60g (3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon) caster sugar
60g (scant 1/2 cup) finely chopped pecans or almonds
60g butter, chopped
Peel and core apples. Chop apples into eighths then cut each eighth in half. You should have about 450g of peeled, chopped apple.
Place apple, water and sugar in a large saucepan; cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat so that the mixture is rapidly simmering. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until apples are just soft.
Spoon cooked apple into a shallow ovenproof dish with a capacity of at least 1 litre (4 cups). We use a pie plate that measures 22.5cm across the top and 20cm across the bottom.
Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (170 degrees Celsius fan-forced).
Mix flour, caster sugar and nuts together in a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until well combined.
Sprinkle topping over apple.
Bake for about 25 minutes, until topping is lightly browned. Serve hot or warm. © www.exclusivelyfood.com.au

I have my main course at home and for dessert I just step here and pick and choose :)
Yum, I love my apple crumble with some mixed berries thrown in too
I think this will taste a lot better if you add a dash of mixed spice
Hi Eric, we haven't included any spices in our recipe due to personal preference, but if you like mixed spice or cinnamon they would be a great addition!
Recipe looks good - I'll try it tomorrow :)
Cant wait to try it!
mmmmmmmm yummmm this looks and sounds delicious i am going now to make it...
yummmm this is the best apple crumble ever!!!!! if u added spices which would be the best? thanx 4 a great recipe!
Our preference would be 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon which could either be added to the cooked apple or mixed in with the flour.
Try half a teaspoon of cloves to give a lovely aromatic taste
me and my nanna just made it and it looks great!!
it looks a bit low though.
I substituted the nuts for coconut and it turned into a great recipe for kids! Yummy.

I think that it would be a nice addition to use granola and or rolled oats in the crumble mix with brown sugar, it gives it a wonderful crunchy sweet topping. I like it best served with custard. What do you think of my suggestion?
Just read all the feed back. Will try the crumble with a combination of oats and coconut, instead of nuts, so I can use what's in the cupboard. It might taste like an Anzac biscuit...yum yum "Anzac Apple Crumble"

Hey guys! I just tried this one & thought i'll have a taste, well..its so good that i just cant stop eating.
made some variations in the recipe though!
i added a bit of cinnamon powder, clove powder & nutmeg powder while cooking apples.
to the mixture, i added oats, coconuts & walnuts. and replaced with olive oil, wheat flour & brown sugar, for a healthier version.
just yummy!!!
It is SOOOOOO good that we have started to make it for our camps. some people may have variations but even without them it is just fine... thanks heaps
is it okay to use other apple varieties other than granny smith? i have a wholt bunch of mini red apples at home and i LOVE apple crumble!
We have tested this recipe with Granny Smith apples although any type of apple could be used. When cooking the apples, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar and the cooking time if a different type of apple is used.
Hi, i love apple crumble, but am highly allergic to nuts, what other suggestions do you have as to what i can use instead?
Coconut is not really preferable though - fussy kids!!!
Thanks
Zoe
Well one thing is that you dont need to use nuts at all its Perfectly good without:)!
Hey I'm about to make this recipe tonight with cinammon and I'm wondering how high the oven should be on.
We bake this crumble at 190 degrees Celsius (170 degrees Celsius fan-forced).
That is the best apple crumble i have ever had!!! when the apples were cooking i put some cinnamon in and it tastes Sssssooooooo GOOD!!! i just had to make anther one!!

Amazing recipe, this is definately a keeper. Thanks a lot.
yummm sounds gd hav 2 go and make this delicious dessert
reaally yummy! infact the best ever, but if u add cloves it is delicious! :p
I made this recipe at home...yummy, but for Home economics at school i have to substitue apples for another type of fruit. Do you have any suggestions as to what fruit would be best with it... and with the new fruit, what other changes will i need to make?
Hi Zoe,
You could use mixed berries, pears, peaches or rhubarb instead of the apples. Unlike apples, very soft fruits don't need to be cooked in a saucepan before oven baking. We recommend that you sweeten the fruit with sugar to taste.
this is amazing! I made one portion and polished off the whole thing, it was that delicious :) thanks for sharing!

This recipe was simple and delicious - I had visitors last evening and it was the quickest dessert I have ever made - everyone loved it and a perfect winter sweet to finish off a home cooked meal. Thank you.
Have you got some other winter desserts? like Sticky Date pudding?
On the right hand side of this page, above the list of savoury recipes, we have a link to our index of sweet recipes. We have a recipe for individual sticky date puddings and other dessert recipes that would be suitable for winter.
I made this for 12 people and they all said it was really good. Simplest and yet tasty recipe I have tried. I substituted half of the caster sugar in the topping however for brown sugar.
We have a nut allery in our family can you name a subsitute for the topping?
We sometimes make the crumble without nuts, and just omit them from the recipe without adding anything else or adjusting the other ingredient quantities. If your family member is not allergic to coconut, you could use about 1/3 cup of desiccated coconut as a substitute for the pecans/almonds.
In the topping I leave out the nuts and add coconut and crumbled corn flakes. Yum. This keeps the topping crunchy.
Thanks Bev for that extra info about adding coconut and cornflakes. Apple Crumble is so easy to make and is delicious too. From Joy
I made this a couple of weeks ago & my in-laws requested I make it again, they loved it ! Though this time, I doubled the amount of apples so it was higher in my round pie dish, added cinnamon sugar whilst apples were simmering & doubled the ingredients for the top crumble, also adding oats. Thanks to everyone for the other comments on what to add - my crumble looks awesome !
