Notes
- To minimise the chances of the crumble topping sticking to the sides of the pan, you can coat the dish with cooking spray before filling.
- For a more even crumble topping, allow the melted butter to cool slightly before mixing it with the dry crumble ingredients
- Use tart apples such as Granny Smith, Gala, or Bramley cooking apples to balance out the sweetness
- Add some nuts like pecans, walnuts, and almonds to the crumble topping for extra crunch. This will also add some healthy fats and protein
- Feel free to add dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries, and chopped apricots to the apple mixture. Or stir in Christmas mincemeat for a festive taste
- You can make up the crumble topping ahead of time with leftover bits of flour, butter, and sugar. Then store it in the freezer ready to use when needed
