Apple Crumble is a dessert very easy to make, perfect for breakfast or as a dessert. The apple crumble and jam is based on shortcrust pastry, very crumbly and tasty with a soft and delicious apple filling and a hint of apricot jam. I recommend trying the Chocolate Crumble.

How to prepare the Apple Crumble

Let’s start preparing the Apple Crumble. Pour the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
Add the sugar.
And the cold fridge butter, cut into pieces.
Work with your hands until you get a sandy mixture.
Add the egg.
The milk.
And the vanilla.
Knead until you get a compact and shiny shortcrust pastry.
Work it on a surface for a few minutes.
Then wrap it in cling film and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
While the pastry rests in the fridge, prepare the apples, peel them, cut them into 4 wedges, remove the core.
And cut them into small pieces.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon.
Pour the apples into a pan, add the sugar.
The lemon juice.
And the grated lemon peel, put on the stove and cook for 10/15 minutes until the apples are well softened.
Take the pastry and divide it into two parts.
Roll one part well with the rolling pin.
And place it on the baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Add the jam, level it.
And add the cooked apples, spreading them over the jam.
Crumble the remaining shortcrust pastry over the mixture to make a sort of lid.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 40 minutes.
When the crumble is ready, take it out and let it cool completely in the pan. Only when it is cold, remove it and cut it into slices.
