Quick Apple Crumble

Ingredients

• 6 apples (peeled and chopped)
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for the filling)
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (for the filling)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• salt (a pinch)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (to mix with the apples)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for the crumble)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (for the crumble)
• 100 g cold butter (cut into cubes)
• oats or chopped nuts (optional for the crumble)

Steps

1. 1

   Start by peeling and chopping the apples into uniform pieces.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix the chopped apples with a bit of flour, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and ground cinnamon.

3. 3

   Add the melted butter to the apple mixture and stir well so all pieces are coated.

4. 4

   Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish and press it down slightly to level it.

5. 5

   To prepare the crumble, mix the dry ingredients (flour and brown sugar) with the cold butter in another bowl.

6. 6

   Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the texture resembles wet sand. If desired, add oats or chopped nuts at this point.

7. 7

   Cover the apples in the dish evenly with the crumble mixture.

8. 8

   Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.

9. 9

   Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can customize the topping by adding oats or your favorite nuts for extra texture. It's an ideal last-minute dessert.
