Apple Crumble

This is an easy apple crumble. Traditionally, apple crumble is made with Bramley cooking apples; these apples are very sour to eat and you will need a lot of sugar to sweeten the apples for cooking. In my recipe I am using ripe Royal Gala apples as these are naturally sweeter and you will need to add less sugar. Once baked the apple crumble is served with custard. This recipe is so easy and so delicious.
