We love crumbles. All kinds of crumbles, with any type of fruit. This mix of soft, juicy, and sweet cooked fruit with the crispy and buttery crumble layer is simply a delight for the palate. Perhaps apple crumble is the most classic variant, but it is said that the crumble recipe was invented in Britain, following the strict food rationing during World War II. Served with whipped cream or ice cream, it’s even more delicious.

Steps
To prepare the apple crumble, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (static) and butter a baking dish approximately 10 x 12 inches.
Wash and peel the apples, core them and cut them into cubes of about 1/2 inch. Place the apple cubes in the baking dish, covering the entire bottom.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats with the flour, ground cinnamon, sugar, and chopped almonds. Then add the cold butter cut into cubes and quickly work it in with your fingertips until you get a crumbly mixture.
Pour and distribute the mixture over the apple cubes, covering them completely.Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, until the surface is golden.
Take out your apple crumble and serve it hot, possibly accompanied by whipped cream or ice cream.Of course, you can also enjoy the apple crumble cold.
Tips
For variety, you can replace the almonds with walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios.
