How to make apple crumble recipe

Full Apple Crumble Recipe Video

I wanted to make the crumbs from the Apple crumble recipe and serve the apple raw with cream. The crumbs is intended for Apple crumble ice cream. I found the recipe at this website with detailed steps by steps. They even include a video for better understanding! I also took the mushroom soup recipe from this website. So far the website has been a pretty reliable source of recipes and tips. As I will be modifiying the steps since i am only making the crumbs. Feel free to visit the original site for the full Apple crumble recipe instruction.

I am only making the crumbs of the Apple crumble recipe and I will be using half of the quantity. Thus the amount, flour and apples have been modified or deleted.

Ingredients        
85 grams Granulated sugar     
85 grams Butter or cooking margarine
140 grams Superfine flour

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup rolled oats or Corn Flakes (most breakfast cereals will do)

COOKING EQUIPMENT
1 Medium-sized oven-proof dish
Weighing Scales
Fork

Method
Turn your oven on now so that it's pre-heated ready to cook later on! Heat settings are 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 5.
 
Now, make the 'crumble' mixture. I've tried this with my hands, an electric blender and a fork. I think a fork is best but the experts prefer hands!

Mix the butter / margarine with the flour in a dry bowl using a fork until you have a texture like breadcrumbs. It's not important that every single bit is like breadcrumbs, but try and get most of it like that. This will take about three minutes. If you are adding the optional ingredients of oatmeal or Corn Flakes, do it now. Mix it all in well.

Add 56.67g (not all the 85g) ounces of sugar to the mixture and mix it all together with the fork. This will tend to make the mixture even more like breadcrumbs. That's your crumble mixture made and ready.

Spread the crumble on a baking tray and spread out the remaining sugar. Put this into the middle of your pre-heated oven at 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 5 for 20 minutes.

Before baking.

Serve hot or cold with ice cream, cream or custard.
