Hobnobs are our genius secret weapon to make a fuss-free crumble.

Which apples work best for crumble?

Eating apples work just fine too. It’s worth noting that they’re a bit sweeter and don’t cook down as much, so you might need to add a little extra water during the initial baking as they aren’t as juicy. Joyfully, you don’t have to peel them though, which is kind of essential with cooking apples.

How to make quick crumble

If you don’t mind some extra washing up, you can make it speedier. Just put the apple chunks in a pan with the toffees and water, cover with a lid, bring to the boil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes (no need to stir) until tender. Tip the cooked apple mixture into the ovenproof dish, top with the crumble mixture and bake as per the recipe below.

Ingredients

650 g
Bramley apples (about 3), peeled, cored and cut into rough 2.5cm chunks
50 g
toffee or caramel sweets
125 g
butter, at room temperature
1/2 tsp.
cinnamon
300 g
hobnobs

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C Fan) mark 5.
2. Step 2Put the apple chunks in an ovenproof dish with 1 tbsp. water. Dot over the toffees, cover with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the apples are soft.
3. Step 3While the apples cook, stir together the softened butter and cinnamon. Put the biscuits in a bag and roughly crush so they’re in large chunks, using a mug or rolling pin. Add the biscuit chunks to the butter and stir until combined.
4. Step 4Carefully stir the cooked apples and toffee together, trying not to break up the apples completely. Scatter the biscuit mixture evenly over the top of the hot apples and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden. Serve with cream.
