Caryl's Apple Crumble

Ingredients

6-8 apples
¼ cup wholemeal flour
¼ cup soft brown sugar
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup soft butter
¼ cup oats
¼ cup chopped nuts of choice (pecans or walnuts are good)

Directions

1. Peel and core the apples. Slice thinly and layer into a buttered dish.

2. Cut the butter into the flour until mixture is crumbly (a bit like breadcrumbs). Stir in cinnamon, sugar, oats and nuts.

3. Sprinkle crumble mixture onto apples.

4. Bake in oven at approx. 180° degrees for about 20 mins.

Oh, and don't forget to eat it with custard or ice-cream...... OK, then - both! :)

Caryl's Tweaks

Even though this is my own version of Apple Crumble, I still tweak it as follows:

1. Sometimes I chop the apples into pieces and mix in a little cinnamon and sugar with them before piling them into the dish.

2. Add crushed weetabix or cornflakes to the crumble mixture, or even some wheatgerm.
