I love cider. I love apples. I love autumn. So today I felt I needed to make an apple crumble because it was the most autumnal thing I could think of to do. I'm also in the process of convincing Sam that I could produce an entire cookbook all about apples because I love them just so dang much are so versatile!
ingredients:
cider (I used Henry Westons because its my favourite to drink)
2-4 apples depending on size
2-4 pears (use the same number of apples)
golden or maple syrup
cinnamon
sugar
flour
sugar
butter
- peel and chop your apples and pears, thin slices are perfect but don't be too fussy about it, then chuck them in a saucepan and pour the bottle of cider in with them (side note:use the whole bottle because it makes a delicious hot cider at the same time for you to drink afterwards. If not enjoy the bottle while making!) add a dusting of sugar, a few pinches of cinnamon and a drizzling of golden or maple syrup.
-let them cook on a medium heat and simmer away for a while until they go all soft. Drain the liquid out and drink it if you so wish (trust me it is the most amazing sweetest hot apple cider I have ever drank in my life!)
-To make the crumble, I have adopted my mothers technique of just mixing it till it feels right. About a lump of butter, and a few handfuls of flour and get your hands stuck in making a good breadcrumb. Add some sugar and pour over your apples in the dish.
-Cook in the oven at about 180 degrees C for about 15-20 minutes till it goes golden on top.
Serve with custard and ice and enjoy!
Annoyingly this was the only picture I took of it cooked and this was all that was left over after four of ate it for desert but mmmm it was good!
