Recipe for Apple Crumble.

Last Updated on November 8, 2021

Cream or ice-cream with this apple crumble recipe.

We all love Jamie Oliver.  He makes everything look so quick and easy.  This recipe is as easy as pie (no pun intended) and there is very little washing up afterwards.  He uses oats for the crumble which makes a healthy change.

This classic apple dessert is served warm.  It serves 2 so remember to double or triple quantities if you need more.

For the crumble you’ll need

• 35 g rolled oats (commonly referred to as ‘Kvaker’ in Hebrew)
• 35 g whole meal flour (plain flour works too)
• 20 g caster sugar (powdered sugar that has no added cornstarch)
• 35 g butter or parev margarine

For the filling you’ll need

• 400 g of cooking apples cut into even-sized cubes (green Granny Smiths are great).
• 50 g caster sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Peel and core the apples, quarter and cut in to chunks.
2. Put the apples into a pan with the sugar and water. Cook over a low heat for 5 minutes and place in a small ovenproof dish.
3. Place the flour and oats in a bowl and mix well. Cut the margarine or butter into small cubes and add this to the oats and flour. Mix with your fingertips until it resembles an even crumb texture. Add the sugar and mix through.
4. Cover the fruit with the crumble mixture. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until the crumble is golden and the apple hot.

Chef’s Tip

1. For a more complex flavor add a dash of cinnamon.  You can also add one tsp of lemon zest to the apples while they are cooking.
2. For individual servings, place the apples and crumble mixture in ovenproof ramekins
3. Serve with cream, vanilla ice-cream or parev cream-whip
