Apple Crumble

During the pandemic, my son gets a lot of free time after his homework. I've tried to keep him busy with different activity. This morning, we decided to make an apple crumble for breakfast. "Don't tell Daddy. We are going to make this for breakfast to surprise him," my eight-year-old son whispers to me. We both woke up super early and creeped into the kitchen, starting to make the crumble. The cinnamon scent filled the air and it warmed our hearts in the very cold morning. Hope you enjoy this recipe.

INGREDIENTS FOR APPLE FILLING:

2 Apples

5 tablespoons Brown Sugar

1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

1/4 cup Water

1/8 teaspoon Salt

INGREDIENTS FOR TOPPING:

3/4 cup All Purpose Flour

1/4 cup Cold Butter, cubed

DIRECTION:

1. Peel and core the apples; cut the apples into small chunks.

2. In a small pot, add apples and brown sugar.

3. Add cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.

4. Pour in water.

5. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

6. Continue to boil until the apples soften and the liquid becomes sticky; about 20 minutes.

7. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, add flour and cubed butter. Rub the butter into the flour with finger tips, until the butter becomes pea size.

It should become like this.

8. When the apple filling is done, spoon it into a baking dish. Set aside.

9. Get a handful of the flour mixture. Squeeze to pack it into a large block.

10. Then, greenly break it onto the apple filling. The topping should be half powdery, half crumbly.

11. Place the baking dish on a baking tray. Place it in the pre-heated over at 350C for 20 minutes.

It is ready.
