Apple crumbles are a labour of love. This crumble took me more than an hour to make, thanks to the mixing of butter with flour and the peeling and slicing of the apples. However, it was love at first bite – and apple crumble has become my favourite home-baked dessert.
Apple crumbles are very easy to make, and require very few ingredients. This recipe was cut out from a Straits Times’ Sunday Life feature some time ago, and I am reproducing it below in full. However, I’d recommend to put slightly less water than suggested, as my crumble filling turned out to be quite watery – I prefer it thicker, like what you’d get in McDonald’s apple pie. I also feel that the cinnamon is mandatory, as it really makes a difference to the flavour of the filling.
