Apple varieties
Golden delicious and granny smith apples are great for cooking. However they will lose their shape and reduce to a puree if cooked without sugar. Use a sweet red variety of apple that’s naturally high in sugar, such as royal gala or pink lady, if you want apples to keep their shape during cooking.
What is the secret to a good apple crumble topping?
- Take the butter out of the fridge right before making the crumble to keep it cold, which helps achieve a crumbly texture.
- Stop the food processor as soon as the crumble ingredients are combined to prevent over-blending.
- Make sure the crumble has turned golden before removing it from the oven.
- Some recipes suggest using your fingers instead of a food processor. This method creates varied crumb sizes, which some people prefer, though it takes a bit more time.
