Crumble topping with oats and self raising flour năm 2024

The crumble can be served piping hot, warm or cold. The best accompaniment for this ultimate apple crumble is vanilla ice cream or custard.

How long will Apple Crumble keep for?

This apple crumble will keep quite happily in the fridge for three days. Reheat in a microwave or put the whole thing in the oven on a low temp to heat through. You can also freeze the whole crumble before you bake it or once its cooked and will be fine in the freezer for 4 months.

Full preparation

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas mark 5. Peel, core and dice the Pink Lady® apples into roughly 2.5cm cubes. Measure out the filling ingredients.
  
• Start by making the filling. Put the apples, golden caster sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and plain flour in a saucepan with 50ml water. Stir well and cook on a medium heat for roughly 15 minutes until the apples have softened nicely, stirring all the time.
  
• For the topping, add the oats, demerara sugar, self-raising flour and chopped hazelnuts to a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  
• Once the apples have softened and the topping has been combined, lightly grease a heat-proof dish (roughly 28 x 25cm and at least 5cm deep) with a little butter.
  
• Fill the dish with the softened apples and top with the crumble mix making sure all the apples are completely covered.
  

Slide onto the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.

Apple Crumble or Apple Crisp – whatever the name, sign me up! I adore the contrasting texture of soft cinnamon spiced apples with the crisp, crunchy oat topping.

It’s a delicious and versatile recipe – serve cold and call it breakfast baked oats (!), serve warm with ice cream and you have an indulgent dessert.

You can’t beat a crumble for pure comfort! This healthier crumble cuts down on the fat and sugar but keeps all the flavour.

I used Sukrin Gold (another good option is Swerve Sweets Brown) in this recipe to keep the calories down. It has no aftertaste and I really can’t tell the difference between it and brown sugar! By all means use soft brown sugar or maple syrup if preferred.

It’s a suitable for Slimming World at around 250 calories per serving (without toppings), with pecans used as a healthy extra.

What’s more, this you can make it as a vegan apple crumble and it can be gluten free too! Try serving with fat free yogurt or ice cream plus a drizzle of Sweet Freedom Caramel Syrup!

OAT CRUMBLE TOPPING

Oats are traditionally used to make Apple Crisp in the US and I am so on board! They make a fabulous crumble topping – nutty, crunchy and healthier too!

Use rolled oats (or quick cooking oats) not the jumbo variety and check they (and the scant amount of flour) are gluten free if that is a concern.
