“Everybody’s good at cooking something, and I’m good at cooking Crumble”- Lorraine Bowen

Link to her BGT Performance

Inspired by Singer/Songwriter Lorraine Bowen’s hit song ‘The Crumble Song’ from this year’s Britain’s Got Talent completion, I decided to create a crumble recipe.

Her tantalizing and tongue-in-cheek lyrics reminded me of the fun I had as a child when having crumble for Sunday pudding. Lorraine’s attitude and approach to life is so inspiring and this nouveau-styled love song, although simply worded is genius in execution.

This dish is simple, yet effective and is perfect for those with the ‘Can’t cook, won’t cook attitude’.

Enjoy ;-)

You will need:

For crumble:

120-150g of plain flour (depending on the size of the dish)

50g Butter

3 tsps of Coconut oil

60g of Brown sugar

For Filling:

3-4 large apples of your liking

3-4 peaches

1 heaped tsp of Cinnamon

2 heaped dessert spoons of brown sugar

Cookware:

Crumble dish or any pyrex  dish that’s suitable for the oven.

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 180c gas mark 6.

Into a mixing bowl sift the flour and add the brown sugar. Dice up the butter and add to the flour. With your fingertips start to rub the butter and flour together so that it starts to resemble a breadcrumb like consistency.

Next add a spoon of coconut oil and mix it through with your fingertips, continue to do so with the other two spoons until you have a bowl of breadcrumb like mixture. Set aside.

Next peel and core the apples and peaches .Cut them into 2cm wide pieces. Add the fruit to the dish and sprinkle on top the 2 dessert spoons of sugar and spoon of cinnamon.

Next cover the fruit with the crumble mixture, making sure to do so in an even fashion. Pop the dish into the pre-heated oven for about 25-30 mins or until the top has gone golden brown. Once done take out and let cool down. Serve with cream or custard.
