The weather has been beautiful lately: pleasant and with the right amount of chill in the air. Yet I’m still in my autumn slump with barely any patience or energy to do anything more than heating up my dinner in a microwave. Oh yes, cue the violins and weep for me people for I am wasting my favourite season moping about. I am in desperate need of a sea change.
But at least I have my apple crumble. It is still one of my most loved comfort food and one of the first that I learnt to make once I trusted my clumsy ass around an oven. I remember the chilly afternoons after school and many frosty nights where this humble dessert would make an appearance. All it took was some quick knife work, a bit of butter-into-flour action and less than 30 minutes later, bliss. Molten tender apple cinnamony bliss and always working in perfect harmony with a stone cold dollop of custard or cream. Mercy.
This crumble is yet another sign that I am a little caramel happy and that I have a nasty habit of changing things up from simple and traditional to well, nasty and decadent. But trust me on this one. It’s so so good if only for the apple-y tasting caramel at the end that worked wonders for my mood. I suspect many crumbles will be demolished in the next couple of months as I ponder my next move.
Aaaand for disclosure’s sake, the apples used here were generously sent to me thanks to Aussie Apples, which I was more than thrilled to have received and used. Support the local fruit and farmers my friends!

haha i read the first line “weather has been so beautiful lately” and then look outside.. oh how Sydney weather cant make up its mind! Anyways, that looks like the perfect autumn/winter dessert. For those nights you just want to stay indoors with oversized pjs and bed socks on, curled up on the couch… ahhhhhhhhh.

Apple crumble with rich vanilla ice cream is one of my winter faves. Perfect for the weather at the moment (looks outside at the torrential rain)

That looks like a very hearty crumble topping! I do love apple puddings, especially with a generous addition of cinnamon!

Sorry to hear you are still in your slump but crumble is the perfect food to make a slump taste delicious. Maybe you should come for a trip to the country, see how depressing the ‘dining scene’ is here and then you will feel infinitely better about yourself!
