Apple Crumble

This is another easy recipe that can be prepare with whatever fruit you choose. In this case I chose apple but it could have been pear and chocolate, strawberries, raspberries, etc.

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 6 Apples, I chose Golden but put the ones you prefer
• 200 grams Flour
• 80 grams Soft Light Brown Sugar (up to 100 grams, depending on your taste)
• 90 grams Butter (diced and chilled)
• Lemon juice.
• Cinnamon, to taste
• 1/2 glass Water

Preparation Instructions:

1. Peel the apples and cut them in small square pieces.
2. Add some lemon juice above them, to avoid them getting brown.
3. Put in a pot half a glass of water and add the diced apples. Let them cook until they are a bit soft.
4. Add some cinammon, to taste,  and stir until mixed.
5. Put the apples in a 23 cm square, ovenproof dish that is also suitable for serving..
6. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
7. Meanwhile, make the crumble. Sift the flour and sugar together into a bowl and mix.
8. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
9. Stir evenly over the fruit and press down lightly with a fork.
10. Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for around 25 minutes until the crumble is golden brown. Control the time as each oven is different.
11. Serve warm with cream, yogurt or custard.

If you decided to use another fruits, instead of the cinnamon I recomend using vanilla essence, or even a bit of ground ginger.

If the chosen fruits are softer thatn the apples, for exmple pears, berries, etc., you can start in step 7 after wasing them properly, cutting them in small pieces, adding the vanilla extract and/or ground ginger, putting them in the ovenproof dish and baking them in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes.
