APPLE CRUMBLE TRAYBAKE
£21.99
Apple crumble is a classic British dessert featuring a warm, spiced fruit filling topped with a crisp, buttery, and crumbly mixture. It is known as a “crisp” in North America when the topping includes oats.
Taste and texture
- Juicy fruit filling:Â The base is a layer of tender, stewed apples. Bramley apples are a popular choice due to their tart flavor, which perfectly balances the sweetness of the sugar. Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg are often added to enhance the warming flavor.
- Crunchy crumble topping:Â A crumbly mixture of flour, sugar, and butter is baked until golden and crunchy. Some variations include oats or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Perfectly balanced flavors:Â The contrast of the hot, sweet, and slightly tart apple filling with the crisp, buttery topping makes apple crumble a comforting and satisfying dessert.Â
Common variations
While a classic apple crumble is a firm favorite, it can be adapted with a variety of ingredients.Â
- Fruit combinations:Â Blackberries, rhubarb, or pears are often combined with apples to add extra flavor and dimension.
- Spices:Â Cinnamon is the most common spice, but others like ginger, allspice, or cloves can also be used.
- Topping enhancements:Â For extra crunch and flavor, oats, chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans), or a sprinkle of demerara sugar can be added to the topping.
- Caramel apple:Â Some versions, like a caramel apple crisp, add a layer of caramel sauce to the filling.Â
Serving suggestions
Apple crumble is best served hot, straight from the oven, and pairs wonderfully with a creamy accompaniment.Â
- Custard:Â Warm custard is the most traditional pairing, as it softens the crumble and complements the fruit.
- Ice cream:Â A scoop of vanilla ice cream offers a cool and creamy contrast to the warm, baked fruit.
- Cream:Â Fresh cream or clotted cream can be poured over the top for extra richness.
