Whizz 200 g flour w/ 100g butter & 100g sugar to the consistency of breadcrumbs.Sprinkle over your fruit & bake at 180 - 220 C for around 20 mins.
If you use raw apples you'd need to cook up to 45 mins, so it's easier to 1/2-cook your apples first.

I melt brown sugar and butter, add 1/2 cup flour,then add anything to it. Crushed weetbix, cornflakes, rolled oats, coconut. Comes out beaut. No set measurements just melt and mix until it is all coated, (A dry mix)

I cook the apples just enough to soften them but still have them hold their shape and now thanks to hubby I add a couple tins of pineapple pieces.Yum.He come back from a hunting trip talking bout this yummy crumble!

Best idea...otherwise you could end up with a nicely cooked crumble top and crunchy apple underneath.

Lol they went to some place where you could drive in to the huts.The guy that runs the trips is a chef...lucky huh!But the good thing was they could take everything in that they needed.Tinned apples, tinned pineapple and the crumble made in a bag ready to go.

Served me right too.Learned the hard way.So now I slice the apple & nuke it w/ sugar & a cpl Tbs hot/boiling water, in a closed dish, on high for just a minute.It's half cooked but cuts the baking time in half.We are always in a hurry to eat!

I dice the apples,cover with a couple of TBS sugar,1tsp of cinnamon and a tiny drizzle of water,barely enough to cover the base of the dish.Microwave for a couple of minutes on high until just cooked.I like Braeburns or Granny Smiths.

This is my sons one from intermediate 1/2C Fresh Breadcrumbs, 1/2 C Flour, 1 t Cinnamon, 3 T Sugar, 60g Butter I usually double it. Also I build it up in layers by using 1/2 of it, in layers of topping & apples then the remaining 1/2 on top. Use raw sliced apple. Cook for 30-40mins at 175 C.

I can't go past oats and almonds mixed with brown sugar, butter and sometimes ground ginger.Gingernut biscuits go well too.

I'm a purist - just flour, butter and sugar, and not too finely rubbed in or whizzed. In addition, I add little cubes of butter on the top before cooking, which caramelizes deliciously as it cooks.

I use a Rosemary Schrager recipe for the crumble, got it off google after watching her program. It is so yummy but very sweet.
