Apple Crumble - easy

My mother makes the best Apple Crumble and on our last visit home she wrote out the recipe for me. God Bless Mother's they're amazing...


Since then, we've been making it regularly as a comfort food - complimenting it with a great coffee or two as memories of childhood, holidays, family gatherings, etc come flooding back.

So, here is my Mom's recipe (my 10cents worth in italics) - with pictures...
ENJOY...

this recipe is a lot easier to master than it sounds - check the matching recipe photos

GERMAN APPLE CRUMBLE:

ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
125g margarine (don't replace this with butter - it doesn't have the same 'niceness')
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1 can of apples
[or: 4 (or more) fresh granny smith apples - peeled/sliced/blanched with a cinnamon quill]more sugar and or cinnamon for sprinkling


method
rub margarine into dry ingredients


whip egg and vanilla essence then add to mixture and mix with your hands


line a baking dish with half the pastry



fill pastry case with apples



sprinkle with sugar (and a little cinnamon if preferred)


grate the balance of the pastry on top (I sprinkle a little brown sugar on top as well)

bake in a preheated 180 Celcius oven for about 30 minutes


After minimal cooling time - slice and enjoy with low fat yoghurt (yeah right!...) or whipped cream
