Apple Crumble
So I already have an apple crumble recipe on my blog, so why add another one, you may ask. Well it was my sons birthday and he asked for apple crumble to be his 'cake' this year. My other apple crumble recipe has nuts in the topping and as my son doesn't like nuts, I figured I'd try another recipe, one that didn't have nuts (I could have just taken the nuts out of the other crumble topping, but as I love trying new things, I just did).
So here we have this new recipe, and it was so good, I had to include the recipe on my blog, as I know I will want to make this again and again, and really, why can't there be more than one great recipe for any dish, especially if they are different.
Another reason I had to add it is you can't really compare the two as the toppings are completely different. The other one has a traditional crumble feel, this one the crumble topping that reminds me of an ANZAC biscuit, it was crisp and tasty.
My family really enjoyed this, the apples I cooked where they were just cooked and soft, but they still held their shape. If you prefer it softer, and 'jammier' just bake it a little longer. The crumble topping was crisp and flavourful, it really is a delicious crumble.
I found it just a little bit too sweet for me, while my family didn't. If you to find it sweet, you could reduce the sugar in the topping to 1/2-3/4 cup sugar. But I tend to always make a recipe as written first, then adjust the next time I made it. The tartness of the apples can also affect the overall sweetness. My green apples were quite sweet.
Apples, pears, peaches, berries would all work with this crumble topping. Just adjust the sugar with how sweet the fruit is that you are using. I would use less sugar with sweet peaches, for example.
So here is another apple crumble recipe that my family loves, hope yours does to.

Place topping ingredients in a bowl. Mix until clumps form, like wet sand. Spread over the apples, crumbling with fingers if required to get that crumbly topping.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove, cover loosely with foil to keep warm and let stand for 10 minutes before serving (let's the apple filling come together).
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
