TRADITIONAL BRITISH APPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel, core, and chop apples into chunky pieces. Don't cut apples too small because when cooked they could disintegrate, and you want the cooked fruit to have some texture.
• Place apples in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, if using.
• Arrange apples into a shallow baking dish, approximately 9 x 7 inches. Reserve.
• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large baking bowl, place flour and sugar. Cut butter into small pieces and add to bowl.
• Using your hands, rub butter into flour and sugar until you have a very coarse mixture. It doesn't have to feel or look even, as this is quite a rustic dish and works well with an irregular texture.
• Alternatively, make crumble mixture in a food processor by placing all topping ingredients into processor and pulsing until you get a coarse mixture. Do not overmix.
• Evenly sprinkle topping over apples, but be sure there aren't parts of topping that are too thick as it will not crisp up, nor allow apples to cook nicely.
• Place dish into preheated oven and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. The apples will appear bubbling through from underneath.
• Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream.
