The World's Best Apple Crumble

This is a great apple crumble.  I have a lot of students who pull a rude face when I tell them we are making apple crumble and they say they don't like it.  I always say, "Wait until you try this apple crumble."  And in 99.9% of cases, they agree that it is the best ever.
Enjoy!

ps.  I have a thing for making individual desserts because it makes presentation quick and easy.  Also, in a class situation, it saves arguments about who got the biggest piece.  But if you want to make it in a family size dish, it will work fine.

Apple Crumble

(Serves 2)

Ingredients


Crumble:
1 ¼ c plain flour
4 T brown sugar
100 g butter, cubed


Filling:
225 tinned pie apple (or homemade cooked apple)
1 T brown sugar
¼ t ground cinnamon

Method:


1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.


2. Place the flour and sugar in a bowl and mix well.


3. Taking a few cubes of butter at a time, rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.


4. Mix the second measure of brown sugar and cinnamon together.


5. Spray two ovenproof dishes with cooking spray. Place the fruit into two dishes and sprinkle over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.


6. Stir well, being careful not to break up the fruit.


7. Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top of the fruit.


8. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the crumble is browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling.


9. Serve with thick cream, ice cream or custard.

Note:  If you have a food processor, instead of rubbing the butter in by hand, you can just pulse it until it's like breadcrumbs.  Much quicker!
