I’m not sure if throwback Thursday is still a thing, but either way I’m going a bit old school with today’s recipe- apple crumble. It’s actually a really easy recipe and a sure fire way to get you reminiscing about school dinners. Custard will go lovely with this, although I am yet to find a good recipe that makes the pink custard that my school used to do.

Ingredients
5 eating apples, peeled, cored and cut into cubes
2 tablespoons of golden caster sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of water

For the crumble
130g plain flour
60g golden caster sugar
60g unsalted butter plus extra for on top

pie dish, for this amount I used an 20cm diameter one.

Place the apple, a tablespoon of sugar, cinnamon and water into a pan and heat gently for about 5 minutes, then place the apple mixture into your pie dish.

In a food processor, or by hand if you’re hardcore, blend or rub together the flour and butter until you get a breadcrumb like mixture.

Place the crumble over the apple mixture, sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top and dot about 4 penny sized pieces of butter around the top.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
