Sunday Dessert


I'm not saying I don't have dessert the rest of the week, of course I do, don't be silly but Sunday has this lure when ice-cream of a yogurt just isn't good enough. Cheese cake, trifle and chocolate pudding are Sunday desserts but top on the list is a good old crumble. Home made of course. Now put down the frozen or packet crumble, that is pure laziness. It’s simple:

Apple Crumble:

- Cooking or Eating Apples both seem to work (no set amount, cut a few up if you need more cut a few more but remember to take skins off.)
- Golden Syrup
- 150g Plain Flour
- 100g Butter
- 50g Caster Sugar
- 50g Soft Brown Sugar
- Cream or Custard
- Cinnamon or Mixed Spice
- Optional: Raisins & Oats

Method:
1) Pre-heat oven to Gas 5/190C/375F
2) Drizzle a decent amount of golden syrup at the bottom of the ovenproof dish/bowl.
3) Cut the apples into about 1cm pieces but no need to get the exact measurement. Place on top of the golden syrup. Add Raisins if wish
4) In a separate bowl add the butter and flour and use hands to rub the butter and flour together until you get a bread crumb texture.
5) Add the caster and brown sugar and a 1 and a half pinches of cinnamon or mixed spice and mix all together with a spoon.
6) Add oats if wish to this mixed but may have to add more butter otherwise mixture will become to dry.
7) Spoon over the apple and gently pat down. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top.
8) Cook for 30-40 mins until crumble is browned.
9) Serve with lashings of cream or custard.
10) Enjoy!
