Made with spiced juicy granny smith apples and topped with a delicate crunchy crumble. This recipe is definitely a favourite in my books and will easily impress anyone you serve it too.

Who else tries to remove apple peel in one long spiral?

[@brodylockwood14]

Omg amazing. My Nan used to make the best apple crumble and this looks exactly like it! I've always bought the pre packaged ones but now I'm gonna give it a go. Thanks so much for the inspiration, your videos are just so straightforward and easy there's no excuse not to try 😉

[@ChefJackOvens]

That is great to hear that it resembles what your nan used to make you! I love when food brings back memories. Please enjoy this recipe, it’s so easy and so delicious!

[@marvinm8446]

The Apple Crumble is very savoury and tasty 😋🫶🏽👍🏽👌🏽🍏.

[@fruitytoots4133]

Just curious mate, how would you go about thickening up the custard if you wanted something thicker? Love the alsco towels btw. ha!

[@ChefJackOvens]

You need to cook it for slightly longer but you have to be very careful not to scramble the eggs. Haha they’re good towels 😉

[@cook-in5070]

Great recipe ! I have a question. I don’t live in the UK, so can I replace the Caster sugar with regular white or brown sugar (what would you recommend ?). Thank you in advance!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Granulated white sugar is perfectly fine. You can also brown sugar for a deeper molasses flavour 😊

[@cherylsutherland9464]

Really love & enjoy your recipes , Please make your recipes printable if possible ,. Could you let me know if possible, Thankyou Chef Jack

Hey Cheryl, I do apologise for not getting the website finished yet. I’ve got too much work on my hands right now to even have an estimated time on when it will be finished.

One of my favorite desserts. I personally like it cold with vanilla whipped cream. Can you please make malva pudding. I like that with hot custard. Really great video.

[@ChefJackOvens]

It sure is great hot or cold! I will add Malva pudding to the list!

[@mickshanley4958]

I freeze the butter and grate the required amount. Much easier to mix with the flour.

[@1oldson]

great video as always, any chance of a link to the chopping board?

[@ahmadamirulamri8193]

Does it make any different if using red apple instead?

[@brodylockwood14]

I could be wrong but I believe because red apples are much sweeter that they caramelise too much and become too soft. I think a sour apple is better for this but I'm sure Jack will reply to you 😊

[@ChefJackOvens]

Like Brody said. They contain a higher amount of natural sugars and will burn faster. This can be bypassed by not pre cooking the apples and baking them raw. The reason Granny Smiths are the most popular for these types of recipes is that their flesh can absorb moisture and hold its shape, whereas other varieties, their flesh does not hold up and will turn to mush. You can jazz up the recipe by mixing some rhubarb or mixed berries through the apples for some different varieties. I hope this helps you! 😊

[@ChefJackOvens]

😊👌

[@MaZEEZaM]

Really nice traditional crumble, non of this adding nuts or oats and the like to the crumble mix. Great stuff 👹 also, even better including the custard recipe

[@JH-of1xz]

Depending on appetite, about how many apples for let's say 4 servings? I noticed about 8 apples in your recepy. Looked like about 6 servings by the end.

[@ChefJackOvens]

6 large to 7 small will be a good amount for 4 people 😊

[@marciagreen5896]

[@afifarooknodien7784]

Hi Jack, can I use other types of apples? Granny Smith is very sour🙈 sorry if this is a silly question

[@ChefJackOvens]

Hello Afifa! Yes you can use a wide range of apples or any you have available to you 😊

[@meldahspeight8525]

@@ChefJackOvens apples dont need to be precooked only use caster sugar and never any spices.

[@ChefJackOvens]

@@meldahspeight8525 just like I said on your previous comment, that’s your preference. Spices add amazing fragrance and infusion and should nearly always be used.

[@robcunningham7837]

Going to put apples on my shopping list for Tuesday. But couldn't you use any fruit for this like peaches? Thanks, Mate...

[@ChefJackOvens]

Yes you can use peaches. I’d cut the sugar down just a little bit if you are using peaches as they contain higher amounts of sugar. The Granny Smiths are more acidic and have less natural sugars than a lot of other fruits.

[@charliegrei7830]

Do you think this would be good sugar free... like with monk fruit sugar?

[@selina6408]

Chef Jack, if I use apples like Gala or Pink Lady instead of Granny Smith, should I reduce the amount of sugar?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Hi Selina, you can use a bit less sugar if you’d like as those apples are naturally a bit sweeter 😊

[@selina6408]

@@ChefJackOvens Thanks for the reply chef. I'm planning to make this for Christmas but some of my folks are not fans of the tartness of Granny Smiths.

[@andrewholmes9529]

Good recipe. If you add a teaspoon of cornflour to the custard it stops it curdling.

[@TheCherry145]

My crumble is far too sweet. The topping and apples included- any way to solve this?

Just made it today. I added some crushed walnuts to the crumble. It was splendid!! Thank you so much Jack for the easy to make recipe.
