Apple crumble: quick and easy recipe, just the way we like it. A perfect dessert for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday… let’s say every day of the week. Simple and with apples, about which we have already said everything, we know the benefits both cooked and raw. Practically they are good for sweets and savory recipes because apples can be found all year round and in different varieties.

Steps to Prepare Apple Crumble
If you have 2 apples at home, making apple crumble will be very easy, this is a quick recipe.
With cold butter, sugar, and flour, I prepared a shortcrust pastry which, instead of compacting it, I left in crumbs.
From this comes the name crumble: crumbs.
Heat the sugar in a pan, letting it melt slowly without stirring.
Add the apples cut into small pieces without peeling them, but only removing the core.
Add the lemon juice and the dried cranberries.
Chop the toasted almonds and add them to the apples.
Sprinkle the shortcrust pastry crumbs over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in a hot oven at 356°F for 30 minutes.
And here it is: the apple crumble, an easy recipe to prepare in no time and without peeling the apples.
