>>Recipe: Yes you can...

...screw up an apple crumble...you can take my word for it. Apple crumble is probably the easiest
most delicious thing that can come from 30 minutes... it's so easy a toddler can make it, except if
your parents in law are coming over for lunch... Hey, I managed to drown, burn, smoke and destroy
my mother's day apple crumble with great embarrassment, and I still need to gather up enough courage
to actually invite them over for an all-anzel-made sunday lunch again.

That said, don't worry, this recipe is actually perfect if you follow it properly and remember not
to tipple the butter and drown, burn, smoke and destroy it. This week, I halved the recipe to make
the perfect mid-week desert for two. I also prefer to use fresh green apples, not that there is
anything wrong with tinned apples, I just feel like fresh apples are more flavourful and keep that
wonderful shape and texture that makes this dish look so yummy.

As a fun twist from time to time, you can add walnuts/almonds, or even fresh berries to the filling.
Serve this recipy with whipped or runny cream, but if you have a real sweet tooth...runny custard is
the bomb! The filling turns into a soft, fruity, sticky toffy, wonderfully contrasted with the crunchy
crumble and cool cream or custard.

Filling:

4 green apples, peeled, cored and cubed
raisins to taste
cinnamon to taste (about a heaped teaspoon)
80 g brown sugar

Mix all these ingredients together and place it in a butter greased oven-proof dish.

Crumble:

300 g flour
A pinch of salt
100 g brown sugar
200 g butter, cubed and at room temperature

Mix the flour, salt and sugar together. Add the butter and rub it into the mixture with your fingers.
When the mix becomes well combined, crumble it over the apples and bake for 30-45 minutes at 180 degrees.

And that is it... easy right? Mmmm yeah, I still wonder...
