Nothing says autumn like good food, and as much as it’s been a while since I’ve shared some recipes on the blog, I thought I’d start it up again with a favourite – Apple Crumble!
Apple crumble, or any fruit crumble, is just so easy to make, and great with ice cream, clotted cream or custard. Perfect for an autumnal dessert!
Apple Crumble
This is a super easy recipe, which makes it a great impromptu dessert for autumnal days… Or any other time of year of course! It’s so versatile, and you can change it up with summer fruits or whatever you have handy!

Filling:
- Put the fruit and sugar into a saucepan with the water, and heat for five minutes or so to soften
Topping:

Serve with your topping of choice and enjoy!!

Looks amazing. I love apple crumble and can’t wait to give this a try. Never thought about clotted cream on anything but a scone before but that sounds like a winner
Thank you! Clotted cream is a Cornwall staple I think! I think my tweaked recipe is the best but I’m a bit biased, I reduced the sugar and made more crumble topping, it works for me haha!
This looks delicious! I haven’t baked in so long but this has really inspired me to do so.
Thank you! I love a good crumble, since this one, I’ve had apple and blackberry crumble as well!!
I might have to buy some rhubarb soon! You’ll have to share if you make one 🙂
I’ll definitely share if I make one. I love a good crumble – can’t remember the last time I had a blackberry one. We used to go blackberry picking when my sister and I were younger.
It’s definitely the season for warm bakes and hearty cooking! A crumble would be lovely right now, but I am not a good baker. Tonight’s dinner is proof of that. 🙈
Oh dear!! Crumble is easy 😁 give it a go 😊
