Autumn is the perfect time to plant apple trees, and Alice has shared her go-to comfort dessert, Apple Crumble! She even sources the apples from her Bramley Apple Tree, which she got from us two years ago!

Crumble Topping (with food processor)
-
Add butter, sifted flour, cinnamon, and sugar in a processor and turn on until it resembles crumbs. Take care not to over-process, as this can make the topping doughy. - Spoon the crumble mixture over the dish with the apple filling, spreading to the sides of the dish.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C on the centre shelf for 40-45 minutes. After cooking, leave to rest for 10 minutes. We used some cranberry jam to decorate.
Crumble Topping (without food processor)
-
Sift the flour and mix it with cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. - Rub a few cubes of butter at a time into the flour mixture. Repeat until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, and all the butter is incorporated.
