An apple a day

 Our two apple trees have been keeping us well supplied - and although these organic apples look somewhat spotty they are truly delicious.

Apple crumble to Australians or apple crisp to Americans is an easy dessert that gets great accolades including an empty plate - even though our friends may have been feeling they'd eaten enough already.


Peeling these unsprayed apples takes a little more time as I cut out the dark bits (no bugs) - and for every two apples I get about one whole.

The apples are simmered until just tender in a some water, brown sugar, lemon rind, a cinnamon stick and a dob of butter.

The crumble is created by mixing butter into plain or all purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt with your finger tips.

Sprinkle thickly on top of the apples and bake until brown.

I use the individual one cup dishes - but it is also excellent in a large dish.

If you don't have this recipe let me know and I will email it to you.
