Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

Crumble Ingredients

  • 75 g plain flour / all purpose flour
  • 75 g unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
  • 40 g golden caster sugar (or normal caster sugar)
  • 75 g rolled oats

Fruit Layer

  • 4 eating apples
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp apple juice (or water)

Optional Extras

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (Add this to the crumble topping)
  • 100 g blackberries (stir them through the apples in the dish)

Instructions
 

Making the crumble

  • Measure and add the flour, caster sugar and rolled oats into a mixing bowl.
    75 g plain flour / all purpose flour, 75 g rolled oats, 40 g golden caster sugar
  • Add cubed unsalted butter to the dried ingredients.
    75 g unsalted butter
  • Rub the ingredients together with your fingers and thumbs to create a crumble texture. Set aside until you're ready to cook. (Optionally add the ground cinnamon).
    ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Preparing the apples

  • Peel and chop the apples.
    4 eating apples
  • Add them to the oven-proof dish. Along with the apple juice and lemon juice. Give it a stir to coat the apples.
    1 tsp lemon juice, 4 tbsp apple juice
  • (If you are using Bramley apples (cooking apples) then you will need to cook them in the air fryer with 2 tablespoons of apple juice for 5 minutes before adding the crumble top. This is because they need more time to soften.)
  • Sprinkle over the crumble topping. If you have any extra crumble topping leftover you can place it into a freezer proof bag and save for later.

Baking the air fryer crumble

  • Bake at 170ºC / 338ºF for 12-15 minutes and golden brown.

Notes

This recipe is hugely adaptable. If you only want to make a small crumble you can save any leftover crumble topping in the freezer. You can then use it from frozen next time you want to make a crumble.
Best served with custard or ice cream.
Keeps very well in the fridge for up 2 days.
Make the crumble topping ahead of time and store it in the freezer and bake from frozen. (It will still be malleable).
As the air fryer is a dry heat it will dry the apple crumble out as it cooks so adding a little apple juice to the apples will help keep them soft and moist.
