It's not surprising that making an apple crumble involves pouring the right ingredients directly into the baking dish. After that, simply sprinkle them with butter and pop it in the oven. Although it may sound unlikely, this method actually works. It's worth remembering this recipe because it will surely come in handy in many situations.
How to make an apple crumble?
Making this simple cake is really easy. If it weren't for the high oven temperature, you could even trust a child with preparing this dessert. In one bowl, we mix the dry ingredients, while in another, we prepare washed and cleaned apples.
The next step is to layer the dry ingredients and fruits alternately in the baking pan, creating several layers. Finally, cover the top of the cake with pieces of cold butter. And that's it. We bake the cake for about an hour. The result is simply incredible.
