This classic Apple Crumble combines tender baked apples with a buttery, golden oat and walnut topping for the perfect balance of softness and crunch. Simple to make and wonderfully comforting, it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

150 g (1 cup) Plain flour

100 g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) Brown sugar

50 g (1/2 cup) Rolled oats

100 g Chilled butter, chopped

60 g (1/2 cup) Chopped walnuts

1 x 800 g Can pie apple

Icing sugar, for dusting

Vanilla ice cream, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine plain flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats. Add the chopped butter and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  4. Spoon the pie apple into a 1.5 L (6-cup) ovenproof dish and spread evenly.
  5. Scatter the crumble mixture evenly over the apples, pressing it down lightly.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Allow to cool slightly, then dust with icing sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumble for a warm, spiced flavor.

Use fresh apples instead of canned—just cook them briefly with sugar and lemon juice first.

Replace walnuts with almonds or pecans, or omit them for a nut-free version.

Mix in berries, pears, or peaches for a fruity variation.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
