Baking
Quick Apple Crumble for a Small Household
Slice apples evenly and place in a small baking dish. Mix oats, flour, butter and sugar into a loose, crumbly topping.
What you need
- Sliced apples
- Rolled oats
- Flour
- Butter and a little sugar
Put it into practice
Scatter the topping without packing it down. Bake at 375°F until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden.
The detail that makes a difference
Use the size of the dish to control portions. Tart apples may need a little more sweetness than mild, very ripe fruit.
Make it work in your kitchen
Start with a small batch and taste as you go. Keep a note of the ingredients and proportions you prefer so you can repeat the result. For substitutions, consider texture and cooking time as well as flavor; a softer ingredient often needs less time than a firm one.
