Apple Crumble


Two weeks here and I'm already making comfort food! One of our friends were saying that most people put on weight when they come to London. It is called the 'Heathrow Injection'. I think in our case, it will be self- inflicted most of the time. But I also realise that I'm walking everywhere, so at least I am getting some exercise. Oh well, life is too short to not indulge once in awhile.
Feel free to double or triple the recipe.... Easiest dessert ever!

Apple Crumble Recipe (serves 2)

2 large granny smith, peeled and chopped into pieces
1 tbsp sugar
25g butter
squeeze of lemon juice

Crumble:
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp caster sugar
15g butter

In a pan, melt butter and add sugar. Stir until a caramel forms. Add apple and cook until soft. At the end, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Divide into two ramekins.
For the crumble, mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and work it with your fingers until it becomes breadcrumb-like. Divide it between the ramekins.
Preheat oven to 200. Bake until crumble turns golden (I didn't check the time. Probably 10-15 mins??) Remove from oven, place on a plate. Serve with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream and don't forget to warn your guest that the ramekin is HOT!

Ahhh.... comfort food at its best. Ugly looking but yummy!
