Expert Tips and Variations

For a twist, try using pears or berries instead of apples, or add a handful of chopped nuts to the crumble for extra crunch. Swap white sugar with brown sugar or coconut sugar for a richer flavor. To get the perfect crunch, make sure the butter is cold when mixing with the flour. Avoid overbaking the crumble as it can dry out the apples or burn the topping.

How to Store and Reheat Apple Crumble

Store leftover apple crumble in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes until the topping is crispy again. You can also enjoy it cold, straight from the fridge.
