K, so.
I'm making (well, me and Rich are making ) my mother a big birthday dinner on Sunday (because I am leskint and can't afford to get her a present, and this is what she wanted), and for dessert I am making apple crumble. For 8 people.
I have never made apple crumble before, and therein lies my problem.
I know I have to use cooking apples (I'm not that stupid ), but I don't know how to go about doing any of the rest of it .
So if any of you have any recipes for the perfect apple crumble for dummies, that would be superb .
I will love you forever if you help me .

Right, see if this helps:
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
2 large cooking apples
1 Mango (or, more apples if you didn't want the mango)
Juice of 1 lemon
125g Sugar
200g Plain Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
75g butter
25-50g porridge oats
1. Heat the oven to Gas Mark 4 (180 celsius, 350 farenheit)
2. Peel core and slice the apples. (If using) Peel and slice the mango, chucking out the stone. Mix the fruit with the lemon juice and 25g of the sugar in a oven proof dish
3. Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add the butter and rub in until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in the rest of the sugar, plus the oats.
4. Tip the crumble over the fruit, level it out and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown. Serve with custard, vanilla ice cream or creamy yoghurt
We managed it easy enough (and I struggle with pancakes )
I assume (really, not a culinary type here) that I just double everything to make it for 8...yus.
I normally stew the apples a bit in a pan for a few minutes, until just before turning mushy. Then I use a wholegrain flour, butter and brown sugar for the crumble. It's really easy. Then, a sprinkle of brown sugar on top, bang it in the oven for 15 / 20 minutes and it's ready.
Oooooh, and a bit of cinnamon is extremely tasty with it
so get the crumble right - it's crucial!
Best of luck!
Also, dont forget that apples when cooked will stew down so you will need to start out by using more than you would expect to
mmm I love it!
