Apple Crumble

I struggled with whether or not to post this recipe, wondering if it was too basic, without a unique twist or if just everyone knows how to make a crumble. Ultimately, I decided that I needed a crumble recipe and therefore, maybe some of you do, as well.

This Apple Crumble recipe from David Lieberman provides the right proportions that would work with any fruit or combination of fruit and berries. I used Granny Smith apples, as opposed to the recommended Golden Delicious, because while I agreed that a firm apple would be best, I prefer tart over sweet. Feel free to use you favorite apple. I assembled the dessert early in the day, covered and refrigerated it until just before our Rosh Hashanah dinner. When we sat down for the meal, I put the uncovered crumble into a pre-heated oven and it was warm and delicious when dinner was done. Serve with a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream or just on its own, which I think is just right. Enjoy!

NOTE: I almost didn’t include a photo because I thought this one might serve as more of a deterrent than enticement for the recipe but ultimately figured that you are used to my rushed photography by now. The Apple Crumble certainly would have looked more appetizing with a scoop of softened ice cream and a bright green mint leave but hey, it was time for dessert.
