Easy

Crumble is the most beloved comfort dessert in British cuisine, having made its way into Italian kitchens in the last 20 years. The word 'crumble' describes the topping of flour, butter, and sugar crumbs that crumble under the spoon, revealing the soft fruit underneath. The classic apple version is the one for which crumble is most famous. Cinnamon is the essential flavoring. You can use any fruit: pears, plums, peaches, berries. It is served with vanilla ice cream or whipped creamIt is one of the easiest and most satisfying desserts to make.

Prepare the apples

Cut the apples into 1 cm (0.39 in) slices. Season in a bowl with cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice. Arrange in a baking pan (26-(11.02 in) 28 cm).

Prepare the crumble

In a bowl, put flour, raw cane sugar, salt, and the cold, diced butter. Using your fingers, quickly rub the mixture together until it forms irregular crumbs. It shouldn't become a uniform dough.

Cook and serve

30 min

Spread the crumble over the apples. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are soft and bubbly around the edges. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Chef's Tips

The butter should be cold; warm butter forms a paste instead of crumbs. Don't make the crumble uniform; uneven crumbs provide a better texture. Crumble is versatile: it works with any seasonal fruit.
