Apple crumble

A classic nursery pudding which seems to have made a very welcome comeback.

Vary the fruit as you wish, serve hot or cold, serve from one large dish, serve from individual dishes, mold with a ring, serve with custard sauce, serve with crème fraiche...... the possibilities are endless. Most important of all is to indulge and enjoy.
