Apple crumble

This hearty warm dessert served after a meal is of British origin. Green apples are baked until soft and succulent, the texture sharply contrasts to brown sugar crumble topping. I prefer having this dish warm with crème anglais (vanilla pouring custard) while many people would rather have it with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream which will eventually melt down to be vanilla sauce itself. No matter which style; hot or cold, apple crumble never fails to make your dessert time a joyous time.
