im 9 years old and im cooking this for my daddy as a suprise thankyou soo much jamie loveyou <3 you make me
hi i am doing instructions at school about how to make a apple crumble and this is really helping me out!! :) thanks jamie..
Phillip B: to save the apples for future use, boil the apples until they're soft and gooey then pop them in a freezer bag and freeze them!
im eleven and cooking this for my mummy as a suprise::)
I really like this recipe, a few tweaks to make it my own and my family love it. <br /> Jamie, you are fab! Thanks.<br /> Anna (hubby and hungry baby) x
Hi Jamie : ) I love that this recipe contains oats and not just flour. Considering also adding some grated nuts (hazelnuts, maybe almond). Would that work? And to what extent would that change the proportions of flour, oats, butter and sugar? Thank : )
Jamie, I have a Cox apple tree in my Garden, produced LOADS of Lovely apples this Year, and making Crumbles a few times a week, ( so as not to waste any of the apples) not to mention, Giving away Hundreds of them, ANY ideas on how to Save apples for future Use? so they Dont go bad.
Just been given a big bag of cooking apples by a friend... So getting straight to it with a nice apple crumble... Hubby will be pleased when he gets home from work!
well i do love me apples
got some apples from a massive apple tree and decided to make a crumble looks lovely so far ... seams a bit basic but there's nothing some honey and cream cant fix :)
im goin 2 make a crumble with my cousins cant wait i'll tell u if it turns our good im only 11 lol(Y)
Why no cinnamon? I added a couple of dashes anyway ,, Luv you Jamie (:
Just made a huge crumble to take into work tomorrow for everyone to share and also made another one for home. It is the first time the kids have all wanted to have some.
Is making this in her kitchen along with sheperds pie! :-)
:)
great, we all enjoyed it :O) and it's very easy to cook..
Very nice but is better served with ice cream or cream ;)
Thannkyou Jamie Me And My Friend Made It And It Is Delicious <3
I just tried it and it was quick and easy! It has the right amount of sugar...not too sweet. The quantities for the crumble were just right for a small bowl.
Can I cook this the day before and reheat, will it still taste ok or is it better to make on the day. I'm a little strapped for time.
I love this recipe Jamie Oliver is great!!!!!!!!!!<br /> Thanks love you Jamie!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxx
Kia orana Jamie, <br /> I'm from Cook Island, (Rarotonga) I'm also one of your fan; I love watching your programmes, and I love your cooking; here I'm going to try your receipe and see how it turns out. Ijust hope that one day you will visit my Cook Island people and give a good fortune on new ways of cooking and saving for the rest of my people's future to come. God Bless Jamie.
i am just 12 years old but i very much love cooking and it has turned out to be my passion. Jamie Oliver has been one of the inspirations for me and it is his recepies that has made me like cooking!! ( it's more of love) this apple crumble recepie is very easy to make and has amazing flavors ..........i made it today and my family loved it alot ! So , thank you Jamie , thanks alot =D
this is good stuff ! awesome recipee ! <3
Have to say this is the best crumble topping ever! I have used the crumble topping recipe quite a few times & its delicious. I have to say though you definately need to double the topping recipe if you like to have plenty of crumble. Yuuummmm, there is a rubarb crumble in the oven as I type!
hi there,<br /> great recipe, tried it and it was nice, the whole family loved it<br /> just want to no of any other fruits i can add
double the crumble recipie for a decent coating but keep the filling the same. i added raspberries as well as apples nom nom nom..
Hi! I haven't tried the recipe yet but not sure whether to do it as a lot of people have said that it isn't enough oats etc. I trust Jamie Oliver as my sister has the DS Game at home and the recipes are delicious but some of them have far too much salt and pepper. Thank you for such good recipes<br /> Gemma
cool!!!
I don't think the measurements are right - too much butter!! I added in more flour and oats to get the 'crumbly texture'.
I've done pies and cakes before, but crumbles seems like a really good thing to try, and this would definitely be the first on the list. I am running to the supermarket as soon as I can to grab those oats and apples :D Thanks for the recipe.
This recipe was yum ! Don't know what people are on about with the recipe being wrong? I made the 1st one last week and it was so good i just made another one, this time with peaches as well. Another great recipe from Jamie :)<br />
the correct ingredients you should use to make the crumble perfect are: 250g of butter and plain flour and then just 200g of sugar.
This recipe wad lovely tah Jamie
It seams to me that the dosage is wrong .... 35 g of flour, 35 g of butter... is not enough??!!
Just some hints for anyone with dietary restrictions...
1. Coconut fat can replace the butter to make dairy free - much better than marg with it's trans-fats.
2. Buckwheat flour and/or maize (corn) flour work fine to replace the flour and oats to make it gluten free.
3. Caster sugar is white and refined and not always vegetarian - use whole cane sugar (demerara sugar) instead, it's tastier too.
4. Too go with the crumble...Most custard powders are gluten free and vegan and can be made with soya milk or nut milk. You can buy Swedish Glace vanilla flavor soya ice-cream in many UK supermarkets. Or you can make a coconut accompaniment by mixing shredded coconut with coconut cream.
My final tips...
- My fav is blackberry and apple crumble, if blackberries are not in season frozen ones work fine.
- I've usually found crumbles take 40mins to brown rather than 20min.
- You can make individual portions in large paper cake cases - muffin cases or choux pastry cases.
Hope that all helps someone!
Could someone please confirm the correct ingredient amounts for the crumble mixture???
Hi - I don't usually like oats either, but they taste different when they're cooked - crunchy and it makes the topping feel fresh and not soggy like some recipes. i used 180g butter and it was superb - I also put other fruit like pears in it - quite good cold with a little blue cheese too.
I'm going to try this with pears and manderins. Hope it'll work.
My son and I made the apple crumble recipe from his new Jamie Oliver DS game last night.
250 grams of butter!
It was swimming in it!
Computer error?
Check the recipe well before attempting
I didn't like this apple crumble as it was too sweet and there was no base to it.
thanks jamie i love your crumble and so did all my mate,s they did not beleive that i made it, they thought i brought it from the super-market, i told them that i got it from your web site.thank,s again
I made it last night for the family and it was a real hit! I didn't have enough apples so I added apricots too, it was just divine!! Thanks.
This sounds delicious... Do i have to put in oats?
please reply.
I tried this over the weekend and I loved it. The family loved it as well. Thanks!
Cooked this for granny on the weekend.....LOVED IT!!! Hi Tracey!!!!
thanks so much jamie this was the best crumble i ever made
May I ask if it's 35 g or 135 g of rolled oats and wholemeal flour? I wonder how 35 g. of those stuff will serve five people? :S Please clarify, thank you.
Can you please tell me a crumble without butter and oil instead?Thanks i'm really desperate! Could I possibly be able to get it today?
Hi Jamie
I haven't tried the crumble yet but I will soon. Oh yes, I forgot to say that I unfortunatly do not like oats. Could you advise me what I can use instead of oats?
Your crumble looks delicious.
xxx Valentine
Hello Jamie
Your crumble looks fantastic and really good. I'm not much of a crumble lover like my sister Valentine who is crazy about crumble. If she could she would eat crumble everyday which will make her fat. Thank you for taking time to read our messages.
I made this at the weekend except I didn't use the rolled oats or the wholemeal flour because they didn't have any when I went to buy the ingredients so I used cream flour which was fine!
I thought it was a touch bland but that's because I didn't use enough sugar. I don't have a weighing scales so I just had to guess, see?? But it was so tasty, like I knew it would be so tomorrow I am going to tackle the chocolate biscuits with the gooey centre. I am most excited! Thank you so much.
HELLO Jamie I Am Making Apple Crumble In PlUMSTEAD Manor School I Needed To No How To Make It N U Did It Thankz .xxxxx BeckyBabbezz
I tried this twice today: first leaving the ingredients more or less as they are except that I added cinnamon powder to the apples and I used meusli instead of plain rolled oats (and I must say it came delicious), then because my husband and I are supposed to be dieting I tried it again and instead of sugar I added a few raisins to the apples and for the crumble I left the flour out and I just used meusli mixed with a crumbled wheatabix biscuit (cause the meusli finished) with added raisins and instead of butter/margerine I just added a bit of skimmed milk to give it some moisture and some cinnamon powder. It still comes good and there is no fat in it.
hi im making this dish for my assesment and the ingredients list i got says i have to have 2 eating apples not cooking apples? do you think i need cooking apples and more of them???? get back to me soon please as my assesmant is tuesday........ thank you.......
Hi Jamie
Im from New Zealand and I just love your recipes and think that your site is very helpfull to those who can and cant cook. Your roast chicken was fab house smelled like a resurant am going to do the apple crumble tonight I like that its a plain recipe and you can add things if you want to
can you tell me about 3 spices i need to do it for my home work please email
Just made this, wasn't sure about the oats as i do love a melty buttery crumble but it was magic! Followed the recipe but doubled the crumble measurements and added a wee bit of cinnamon to the apples, absolutely deelish. Any recipe that makes such a good dessert healthy is a winner in my book, plus it means you can eat more of it without feeling so guilty. So thanks for your ideas Jamie. Much appreciated.
I love the way you cook Jamie Oliver
how you can can add a thousand of recipes and make from nothing a great meal
all regards
how do i make apple crumble? this recipies a bit too complicated for me
heyaa,
made this today (Y)
wonder what its gunna be like.
used self raising flour instead of wholemeal.
is that a bad thing? x
I made this for my boyfriend last night, and it was my first time cooking a crumble, but it turned out really really well - and it's simplicity is the best part, because it's easy enough that experimentation isn't too scary - i put nutmeg in the crumble, and drizzled golden syrup on top of the apples before i put the crumble on. Great success!! Thank you!!!
never made anything before today apart from pre-packed oven food, so decided it was time to try proper cooking, started with tomato soup from Jamie's recipe turned out great, made this apple crumble too ....mmmmmmm was lovely! next time i will double up on the ingredients just so i get more! recommended to everyone to try!
I've been watching your show lately, its great! I really liked the look of the four topping pizza so I made it for my husband and 2 children, they loved it! Your amazing, never stop cooking! xxxx
Apple Crumble à la Jamie Oliver.
this is so nice thanks for puting it on i love your ways and means of cooking
i like it
im doing a healthy option for 'Day Zero' that where all the school does one suject for the whole day. im doing cabbage wraps and this its giong 2ward my GCSE
my cafe is nice its got a four star rating :D keep the recipies coming
tried this today. Turned out good, would have liked to have a bit more crumble on top so will probable double that next time.
Just found your site..am loving it. Moved back to the UK without any of my recipe books, so here I am, scouring the net for quantities and fresh ideas.
Fruit crumbles were always a great hit in Barbados and I ended up doing catering sized ones. Had to cheat using cans of fruit as cooking apples were not available locally.
The crumble mix can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge in a ziplock bag/container...frozen even!
Note for Ollie - if you precook the apples of course you don't need to cook the crumble for as long. Get your facts in order before you post and avoid looking like quite such an idiot eh?
Ollie if you wish to serve yourself/your kids dishes laden with sugar and bleached white flour that's fine. But why come onto a site and have a go at some one who is trying to make our children healthier?
I don't like my daughters eating too much sugar and they don't like allspice or cinnamon. I will be trying this recipe tonight.
Trying to be healthier makes you no less British. plus the shorter cooking time means the apples will preserve more of their vitamins and the porridge and wholegrain flour make it even healthier. Not all puddings have to be over cooked stodge you know.
This Recipe is great (Y) i tried it and it worked out fab .x.
Did any of you master chefs out ther who feel it is your position to comment on Jamies ideas for food recipes that he trying to spread the word about food and cooking in general. By keeping it simple it encourages more people to have ago. lets face it in this modern world we live in 80% of you think Marks & Spencer pre cooked meals is a feast, which is why so many useless restaurants in Britain can get away with cooking you any rubbish. Personally I seldom eat out and when I do its more for the social event. If I want good food I eat at home. Jamie does a really good job trying to encourgae our culinary knowledge. As a nation of fish and chips he has an upward battle. France & Italy leave the Brits for dead in the kitchen
This Looks Very Nice
i Mitee Try Tuu Make It
Not realy it looks really nice and i would love to eat it
Nice one Skippy,
Will try this one out on the family before Christmas. Good tip with the wholemeal flour.
All the best
(Your cheese bodyguard)
Portuguese Tip: Ad one small cup of vinho do porto or vinho da madeira with the water and sprinkle some cinnamon... FABULOUS!!
yep! regular sugar is good too! i've tried a few different types of apples and they were all delicious!
Great simple recipe. Some cinnamon sprinkled on top of the crumble adds extra kick and smells fab. Especially on a rainy cold day like today.
Mel Bramleys are the big chunky cooking apples :-) Caster sugar will bake better than ordinary granulated sugar which might burn. Happy baking everyone.
Going to try the apple and blackberry recipe next.
x
I made this today and it was amazing! Never added oates or used wholemeal flour before in apple crumble but it made it a lot nicer. Also adding the juice the apples and sugar simmering made it so much tastier. Will deffinately be trying some more of your recipies. Great thing you've done for Rotherham aswell.
ooo can someone tell me whether i can use normal sugar instead of caster sugar for the crumble?? and also, are bramley apples cooking apples?? thank u, x
wow me and ma dad wer makin tea today and we didnt know wat to cook

this looks good got to make it one day
Loved this and so quick and easy too. I only wish I could get the children to eat it tho'. I doubled the topping quantities as we like more crunch and I sprinkled some cinnamon on too. Will be making it again!

Yummy!!
All these recipes gonna keep me busy 4 a while!

RE: Message 13 Ollie
What can i say to you comment Ollie except i think you are picking holes.This recipe is "Basic" Theres nothing or no-one suggesting what you cant or cant add.
As a qualified chef/baker with over 14 years experience i dont see whats wrong with it.its simple easy and has the intended result.. easy to cook desert that tastes great.
just got it in the oven...:Dhad to make a few adjustments lol...as mentioned butter instead of marg lol
Delicious Thank you Jamie, pefect for people like me with a garden full of apples and not much time on my hands! :)
hii!!!
sunt o mare fana din romania..si imi place ff mult emisiunea ta...
am 15 ani ..si imi place mult qm gatesti:X:):):D...
see ya:)
great recipe thanks! I'm wondering why some people are being so mardy! if you dont like Jamie, why are you on his site?
he is a wanker
Fab traditional recipe...not everyone likes cinnamin etc so you can add what you like....
Jamie you are the best and thanks for the school dinners
Great simple recipe. Maybe you could do a "spice it up" bit at the bottom of the recipe for adding eg. raisins to the apples, cinnamon, mixed spice and not cooking the apples, just wack it in the combi microwave!
right children make sure theres a adult with u helping u cook this, otherwise u may hurt urself.
i found copying the recipe really simple and easy to follow
am going to try adding a little caramel to the apples see what that tastes like :P
i think that's why jamie's good. only by using simple ingredients and simple way of cooking...already it turns out nice.
"11. chicken Wed 28 May 2008 21:07 I can't believe you even suggest using margarine. Either make it with butter or don't make it. "
Did you ever think about this - some people are vegan or lactose intolerant.....
Frankly, Jamie, you clearly have no knowledge of cooking English staple puddings if this is the best you can offer. No cinnamon, no nutmeg, no allspice. Wholemeal flour, about half the required sugar and half the required cooking time? Shoddy.
Stick to roasting red peppers and stuff with garlic in it and similar Italian peasant dishes, which is your forte.
I bet Gary Rhodes is laughing his head off at this 'recipe'.
the recipe is great!!!!!!!!!!
hiya plz can u help me that how to make a apple crumble plz can u give me a recipes for it thank u and goodbye damenjeet kaur
but where is the cinnamon
hi jamie
hii
im hungry
i can't believe those rude comments - if you don't like jamie's way of cooking, go some place else - they don't help anybody!
I'm only 15 and haven't tasted much yet but I must say that your stuff always comes out perfect! Love your school dinners idea. Wish people would do something like that here in South Africa!
i am 12 years old and i ried your recipe it was extremly good and came out right.
i found the amounts were wrong, can anyone help?
I can't believe you even suggest using margarine. Either make it with butter or don't make it.
Hi Jamie, just bought your book at home and it is really great my husband and I just luv to cook from it thanks heaps its great to see that cooking is coming back in fashion becaude if your passion for it, we just luv to cook for ourselves or for friends the kitchen is thw hub of our home here in oz thanks once again
luv jacky
nice recipe can't wait to try it sorry jamie I don't fancy you!!!
Allo. Loupika cooks your food at food tech. you are the weakest link. GOODBYE.
hey jamie, loved your idea of school dinners, hasnt caught on in wales tho the food is disgusting wedges, croquettes and corned beef baguettes, doesnt sound nice and for 1.65 a day I think they r awful and not healthy warm food for primary and infant children.
The recipe is nice, but I find it tastier and easier without cooking the apples first (both the cooking and the water makes them too slobbery), just take the raw apple chunks and put cinnamon and some sugar over them, then the crumble mixture (I hate oats - so without oats) and bake it as you describe. Some whipped cream (still a bit fluid) on it is tasty too.
This recipie could be improoved. It needs more flavor lv u
this recipe is not that gd i think that it could have more flavor e..g cinamon
tried it once for my friends....summer lunch..house visiting.........tooo nice...simple,effortless..my friends thought i was amazin...
ta
I loved this recipe. It was so straight forward. I added some cranberries to mine, using applecider rather than water. Keep up the great work!Hello from Canada!
that is soooo good... the recipe
we didn't need to know that........
you are sexii jamieeeee lovee uu ux
Another great recipe, wholesome and effortless to make. Great for those on a budget too.
Thankyou for sharing you recipes.
This was a lovely wholesome receipe and very easy to make. I added a little cinnemon to the apples. It was yumy
Huge fan of yours Jamie! Yet another great recipe, I really enjoyed making it, as it was so easy, but enjoyed eating it even more! Thanks again, my litte cousin loves this and likes to help me make the crumble part!
jamie i want your babies!
cooooooool
I've been reading your books from the start, the Naked Chef until the recent one,jamie @home. Every recipe works!My little girl, Jasmine loves the Tomato Soup. This Apple crumble is also one of her most favorite dessert. Thanks.
