Looks really easy and delicious – the apples being cooked on the bottom remind me of a french cake called tarte tatin. I will try your recipe for sure.
Ok I finally tried the recipe, I don’t know if it can be called a traditional crumble but I don’t care because it’s so good. I ate it topped with homemade zabaione ice cream, which unfortunately contains both eggs (though I think they can be substituted) and alcohol (marsala wine, there is no substitute) so I cannot share it with you. I think they paired together very well. Another good pairing would be almond ice cream. I used toasted skin-on almonds instead of walnuts because that’s what I had and they worked well, I also subbed the water with lemon juice because my apples were not that tart. I hope you are doing well in this time of pandemia, please you and your family stay safe. Thank you, Didina
Hi, I’m sorry to sound critical, but the topping for English apple crumble, which is what this is, should be made on a half fat to flour basis, by weight, then rubbed together, as if to make shortcrust pastry, but without adding any liquid. The same amount of sugar as the fat can be added for sweetness. Oats can also be added for extra crunch. It should be crisp and crunchy when cooked, so tipping the liquid over it at the end is not recommended.
I like all of your receipe
Dear Manjula Ji, thank you very much for sharing your recipes. I have tried a number of them and they have come out excellent! Somehow the apple crumb pie turned out too ‘liquidy’. Is it possible that the recipe is missing an ingredient, namely flour? Other versions of the recipe do require flour.
You can whisk together 3/4 TBL cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water. Pour over the apple mixture and toss with hands to cover all the pieces. This will thicken up the apples so there were be no excess water. For the crumble, you can use 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 cup oatmeal, but my guess is that this won’t have much to do with the excess water, unless it helps absorb the liquid from the apples as they cook?
Hi Manjula Aunty,
I want to know what is oatmeal and if we can substitue it with something else because where I live in Middle East , I am not able to find it.
Thankyou.
I love your recipes. I need to know what sweeteners you use for your deserts in place of sugar. I seem to need something sweet everyday . Also what type of sweet tasting 0 calorie drinks can I make. I am soooo serious. I need help. Your site has pointed me into the right direction. I love well seasoned food. Thank you so much.

Hello Manjula Auntie, I love the way you cook and in your every recepie I can feel warmth like my mother. I would like to ask you what oatmeal should be used in this recepie. The instant Oats or old fashioned oats because they both take different times to cook. Thank you in advance and please keep posting new and delicious recepies the way you do… Great…
Regards, Ekta
Hi Ekta, I am using instant oat.
Thank you for being so patient in your videos and explaining in great detail the steps. You make it seem so easy. I plan to make this for my family sometime this week.
