Apple crumble with cinnamon and almonds
8 servings
45 minutes
Apple crumble with cinnamon and almonds is a classic British dessert that has its roots in the post-war period when food shortages led to the creation of simple yet delicious dishes. The crispy buttery crumble made from flour, sugar, and butter contrasts with the soft, caramelized apples enriched with the warmth of cinnamon and the crunch of fragrant almonds. When baked, the apples release juice that soaks into the bottom layer of the crust, creating a perfect balance of textures. This dessert is best served warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess and sweetness. It’s ideal for cozy family evenings or as a conclusion to a festive dinner. Enjoy its simplicity and delightful flavor!
