Autumn Apples

We have an absolute glut of apples this year.  The early ones were quite wormy, but the later ones just fine - though it is still a bit hit and miss when cutting them open!  However, there are tons of apple recipes, but our all-time favourite is still stewed apples - with or without dried fruit - served hot or cold with custard or cream, apple cake and apple crumble.

Quick Apple Crumble
Approx. 500g. apples
Core, quarter and peel apples, cut quarters in half.
Place them in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over sugar (preferably demerara) to taste.
Add some dried fruit, eg. raisins, sultanas, currants, cherries, blueberries etc. - a mix of these are nice.
However, just sultanas or raisins are good too.
Some apples may need a little water in the bottom of the baking dish ..... others not.

Crumble:
100g flour
pinch of salt
75g sugar
75g hard butter
75g porridge oats
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

If using a food processor, blitz the butter and flour till breadcrumbed, and add the rest of the ingredients - blitz to blend.

Sprinkle over the apples and bake approx.50 mins or longer.
Oven: 190 deg. C (Gas 5)
