Recipe for Apple Crumble Pie Dessert

Apple crumble pie is one of my favourite dessert recipes. Have you always wanted to make this dessert but were unsure how to make the crumb topping? In the recipe, I have included step-by-step instructions with my own photos as well as a video so that you can easily create this great-tasting dessert for your family, too.

1. Peel the cooking apples and remove the core.
2. Cut into slices and put into your baking dish.
3. Evenly distribute the sugar over the apples.

1. Make sure that there are no gaps in the baking dish by using a knife to spread the apples evenly. This is essential or the crumble will soak up too much of the juices.
2. Using a large spoon sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the apples.
3. If you like your crumble to be a little more caramelized then add a final sprinkling of sugar on top.
4. Place in the oven to cook for 35 to 40 minutes until it is golden brown.
5. It is best to leave it to cool and settle for about 10 minutes.
6. Serve hot with custard or ice cream.

The crumble freezes very well. I always make a double batch of crumble and place the second one in a freezer bag. So next time I want to make this recipe half the job is already done. Take out the bag a few hours before you intend to cook the pie and let it defrost at room temperature.
