Mary Berry Apple Crumble Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1.5 kg (3 lb 5 oz) cooking apples, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
• 30 g (1 oz) butter
• 175 g (6 oz) light muscovado sugar

How To Make Mary Berry Apple Crumble

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6 (400°F). Prepare a 25 cm (10 in) round shallow ovenproof pie dish.
2. Cook the Apples: In a wide-based pan, place the apples, 2 tablespoons of water, and the butter. Cook over a gentle heat for about 6 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apples are tender. Remove from heat, stir in the sugar, and set aside to cool.
3. Make the Crumble Topping: In a large bowl, combine the flour and butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the demerara sugar.
4. Assemble the Crumble: Spoon the cooled apple mixture into the pie dish and level the surface. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples, and add a little extra demerara sugar on top.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4 (350°F) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and bubbling.
6. Serve: Serve the apple crumble hot with cream, custard, ice cream, or crème fraîche. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Use Cooking Apples: Choose tart cooking apples like Bramley or Granny Smith for the best flavor and texture in your crumble.
• Cool the Apples: Let the apple mixture cool before adding the crumble topping to prevent it from becoming soggy.
• Check Crumble Consistency: Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. This ensures a crispy topping.
• Evenly Spread Topping: Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apples to ensure it cooks uniformly and gets a nice golden color.
• Adjust Baking Time: If your crumble isn’t golden after the initial baking time, give it a few more minutes to achieve a perfect, crispy finish.
