As I saw the other day that most of you are excellent cooks, I would like to post a traditional English recipe which is absolutely delicious... and very typical. It's called "Apple Crumble with Custard" (I will publish a picture so you can see how it looks like). Now that you will have time at Easter, try to do it and send me the pictures of them...
Ingredients:
For the crumble:
- 300 g plain flour, sieved
- a pinch of salt
- 175 g unrefined brown sugar
- 200g unsalted butter, cubed and at room temperature
- a knob of butter for greasing
For the filling:
- 450 g apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1 cm pieces
- 50 g unrefined brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
How to do it:
1. Preheat the oven to 180º
2. Place the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Take a few cubes of butter at a time and rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
3. Place the apples in a large bowl and sprinkle the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir well, being careful not to break up the fruit.
4. Grease a 24 cm ovenproof dish with butter. Spoon the fruit mixture into the bottom, then sprinkle the crumble mixture on top.
5. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the crumble is browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling.
6. Serve with thick cream, custard or any ice cream you like... it's absolutely delicious!!!!
