I love apple crumble, yet I also love apple pie- so why not combine the two?! This yummy treat is not too sweet, and I quite like that but if you don't then I would suggest making a sweet shortcrust pastry base instead.
You can also try different spices in the filling and chop nuts or add oats to the crumble topping.

Steps

90 mins

1

First, make the short crust pastry base. Sift the flour (add sugar as well if making sweet short crust pastry) into a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until small bread crumbs are formed. Add the egg and knead until a fairly smooth dough. Roll out and then press into the tart tin. Lightly prick the base with a fork. Blind bake in a preheated 180°C oven for 8 minutes or until the base is dry.
2

Next make the filling. Cook the apples with the sugar, spices and lemon juice with a little water for about 10 minutes. Add cornflour to thicken.
3

To make the crumble, gently rub the butter and flour to form into crumbs and add sugar and mix well.
4

After crust is baked, pour in the apple filling and sprinkle top with the crumble. Bake at 200°C for about 25 minutes till the top is nice golden brown.

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