-
Peel, core, and chop apples into chunky pieces.
-
Place apples in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, if using.
-
Arrange apples into a shallow baking dish, approximately 9 x 7 inches, or a 9-inch pie dish, then set aside
-
Preheat the oven to 175ºC
-
In a large baking bowl, place flour and sugar. Cut butter into small pieces and add to bowl.
-
Using your hands, rub butter into flour and sugar until you have a very coarse mixture. It doesn't have to feel or look even, as this is quite a rustic dish and works well with an irregular texture.
You can also make the crumble mixture in a food processor by placing all topping ingredients into a food processor and pulsing until you get a coarse mixture. Do not overmix. -
Evenly sprinkle topping over apples, but be sure there aren't parts of topping that are too thick as it will not crisp up, nor allow apples to cook nicely.
-
Place dish into preheated oven and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. The apples will appear bubbling through from underneath.
-
Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
-
Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream.
Note
Don't cut apples too small because when cooked they could disintegrate, and you want the cooked fruit to have some texture.
You can use bramley, red delicious or any apple that will retain some texture after baking.
