Easy apple crumble with a delicious twist! This recipe calls for just 6 ingredients, and takes 45 minutes to prepare and bake!  Perfect on a cold and rainy day. Serve on its own, top with vanilla custard or with a scoop of ice cream.

Easy apple crumble

I LOVE apple desserts, especially when apples are paired with cinnamon. It’s a match made in heaven! Can you think of anything else that goes so well with apples? Caramel? Chocolate? Both!

In the past couple of months, we have been baking a lot with apples. My Mom is obsessed with my vegan apple pie, and I honestly think it’s the best apple pie that I’ve ever made and had! But I also love a good apple crumble, it’s a classic that I fell in love with when I was little.

Apple Crumble Ingredients

To make this easy apple crumble with chocolate, you need very simple ingredients. You will need just 6 ingredients in total:

  • Bramley apples (or any other medium to soft apples that are available where you live)
  • Sugar
  • Dark chocolate (this is optional but strongly recommended, especially if you love chocolate!)
  • Cinnamon (I also like to add a little bit of nutmeg)
  • Flour
  • Salted butter

How to Make an Easy Apple Crumble

Step 1. Start by preparing your apples. You need to peel, core and slice them into 1-2cm chunks.

Use Bramley apples, they’re the best for this recipe. However, if you can’t find Bramley apples where you are just use medium to soft apples and they should work fine.

When cutting the apples, place the sliced chunks in a bowl of water. This will stop them from ruining/browning.

On the Hello Fresh website, the recipe calls for stewing the apples until they become mushy before going in the oven. This will result in soft and delicious apples, with a crunchy crumble which will make a lovely contrast. However, I chose to leave my apples raw as they were soft already.

Step 2. To make the crumble, you will need flour, sugar and salted butter.

You need to be very precise with the amounts of the ingredients provided to get the perfect apple crumble. I wouldn’t recommend doubling the recipe as that will result in a thick layer of crumble that might not cook through, and it won’t be as crunchy and nice.

You will need 150 grams of flour, 100 grams of sugar and 75 grams of salted butter.

Step 3. Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. You will get a crumbly breadcrumb like texture. (See picture below.)

If you don’t follow the exact amounts given for the crumble mixture, you won’t get the texture right.

Step 4. Grease an ovenproof dish with a small piece of butter, then put your apples in the baking dish.

Followed by dark chocolate chunks.

And finally, top with the crumble mixture. Don’t press it down, as leaving the crumble loose will help you get that perfectly crunchy crumble.
