Slow Cooker Apple Crumble

Soft, cinnamon-spiced apples under a crunchy golden crumble topping. Proper British pudding.

Ingredients

• 6 Bramley apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 80g caster sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• For the crumble:
• 200g plain flour
• 100g cold butter, cubed
• 80g demerara sugar
• 50g porridge oats

Method

1. Toss the apples with the caster sugar and cinnamon. Place in the slow cooker.
2. Make the crumble: rub the flour and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the demerara sugar and oats.
3. Sprinkle the crumble over the apples.
4. Place a tea towel under the lid (to catch condensation and keep the topping drier).
5. Cook on High for 2-3 hours.
6. Serve with custard, cream, or ice cream.

Tips

The tea towel trick stops condensation dripping onto the crumble and keeps it crisper. Pop under the grill for 2 minutes if you want it extra crunchy.
