Fragrant Apple Filling

You can make use of cooking apples (or apples for baking), but in reality, any type will do the job as long as you are OK with either a mushier or chunkier apple filling.

The appearance will certainly be a bit different but the crumb topping will be still scrumptious.

When it comes to the 2nd from the dry ingredients - flour, there are additionally several alternatives. In the Apple Crumble dish listed below, in addition to all-purpose flour, I additionally use almond meal (this is my secret ingredient!). Yet you could also add some oats or other ground or cut nuts.

Delicious Crumb Topping

My love for crumbles dates back to my childhood. My Grandmother frequently baked yeast cakes with seasonal fruit and crumble . I used to take the biggest pieces of crumble when the cake was taken out from the stove. I need to admit that I also used to do it even prior to the cake was baked! As well as "the chunkiest piece of crumble" is a vital expression here. When I prepare my crumbly mix, I ensure I have coarse crumbs. So if after preparing it, I do not end up with the preferred sizing, I simply manually put together smaller pieces of the crumb combination.
