My son’s current obsession is the Gruffalo! He can recite parts of it and will read along with us when we have the book out so this weekend we decided we would make a crumble as part of our Saturday morning activities.

It’s a normal (and very tasty) apple crumble which we called Gruffalo crumble and so I thought I’d share our treat!

Ingredients needed:

• 3 bramley cooking apples
• Flour 170g
• Sugar 110g
• Butter 110g
• Cinnamon powder
• Salt

Method:

• Peel and slice apples, laying them in your crumble dish. Sprinkle cimmamon as you go.
• Sprinkle sugar over the top.
• Mix well to allow sugar to coat apples and lay to one side.
• Mix flour and butter with your hands until the consistency resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add a pinch off salt and more cinammon as liked.
• Pour crumble mix over apples.
• Flaten.
• Bake at Gas 5 for 45 minutes – 1 hour.

Here is TP and his dad making it. We thoroughly enjoyed it with a bit of double cream over the top. Definitely not an every day kind of treat, but a great one as something special!
