Apple crumble

Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F), fan if possible.

2. 2

   Peel the apples, core them and cut into even pieces; spread them in a buttered baking dish.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mix the flour and sugar, add the cold diced butter, and rub together with your fingertips (don't let the butter warm up) until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Scatter the crumble generously and evenly over the apples, without pressing down, so it stays light and crisp.

5. 5

   Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and crisp on top and the apple juices bubble at the edges.

6. 6

   Let cool for 5 minutes before serving, on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
