Crisp leaves in a comforting rust colour, a breezy chill in the air, cozy knits and warming soups. Autumn is finally here. I was very dismayed at the heat outburst we had recently. Autumn is my favourite season, plus there's a time limit for how long you can wear your summer wardrobe. I am so ready for tights and oversized jumpers. I want to ditch sandals for ankle boots, salads for soups, sunglasses for fur stoles and iced drinks for hot chocolate. I've been craving apple crumble and custard since July, but it wasn't seasonally appropriate...until now.
Ingredients
360g Cooking Apples
30g Ground Almonds
60g Plain Flour
2tbsp Water
100g Demerara Sugar
1/2tsp Mixed Spice
1/2tsp Cinnamon
30g Butter, chilled
A Few Cloves
Sprinkling of Flaked Almonds
Makes two individual dishes, or one larger dish
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/400F/Gas 6. Slice and core the apples, then place into a saucepan with the water, half of the sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon and cloves. Leave to simmer gently until the apples are soft but haven't started to break down.
2. Rub the butter and flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then combine with the sugar and ground almonds. Rub the mixture using your fingertips only.
3. Put the apple mixture into your desired dish and top with the crumble, then place into the oven for 30 minutes.
4. After 15 minutes take out the crumble and scatter with the flaked almonds, before putting it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and serve warm with custard, ice-cream or greek yoghurt
