After experiencing an unseasonably warm autumn in Israel, we had highs of 29C, its finally started getting cold and rainy.
What better way to spend a cold morning than baking?
I decided that cinnamon-y stewed apples were the way to go, and it just so happened we had some vanilla ice cream in the freezer and I also had the last of my Moir’s custard powder from SA that was begging to be used.
Apple crumble was a go!
- 4 apples, peeled, cored and diced into 2cm chunks (I used Granny Smiths, you can use any type though)
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup butter or marge
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
Preheat the oven to 180C.
-
Place the diced apple, first lot of sugar and cinnamon, and the water into a pot.
-
Bring to the boil while stirring and then drop to a low simmer.
-
Keep stirring until the apples have softened.
-
Place apples and any syrup into a pie dish.
-
To make the crumble, using your hands, mix the flour, remaining sugar, butter, and cinnamon until the mixture looks like bread crumbs.
-
Pour the flour mixture over the apples in an even layer.
-
Bake the pie for about 30 min.
-
Serve hot with ice cream and custard.
