How to Make Apple And Rhubarb Crumble

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (325°F).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (approx. 500g) and cut 400g of rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the apples and rhubarb with 100g of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  4. Pour the fruit mixture into an ovenproof casserole dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 175g plain flour, 100g rolled oats, 100g cold unsalted butter (cubed), and 50g of brown sugar.
  6. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or custard.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
