Apple crumble

My one and only apple crumble! Simple, but yet sooo delicious! Especially with vanilla ice cream!




What you'll need :
  • For the crumble
  1. 3-4tbl sp flour
  2. half a cup sugar
  3. 2-3tbl sp butter
  4. 1tsp cinnamon
  • For the filling:
  1. 2 -3 big apples ( peeled and cut into small chunks)
  2. 2-3 tbl sp sugar
  3. 1tbl sp water
  4. 1tbl sp butter



  • Now on to the making:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Place the flour,cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Taking a few cubes of butter at a time rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. ( You can also do this with two knifes, but for me, doing it with fingers is much faster)
  3. Place the apples in a small pot. Add the butter, water and sugar. "Boil" this mixture until the fruit is soft.
  4. Pour the fruit in to a baking pan and add the crumbles on top. ( I add a dash of bread crumbs also. Just so the crumble would look crunchy and brown on top)
  5. Bake the crumble for about an hour.
  6. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

I hope you enjoyed.

  2. Put the rice into colander and let it stay for about 30 minutes.
  3. After that take a pot,pour the rice in it. Boil the rice for 8minutes, after that turn off the heat and keep it under the cover for 10 minutes more.
  4. While rice are boiling let's prepare the rice vinegar. Put the vinegar,salt and sugar into a small pot or pan and heat the vinegar until salt and sugar will disolve.

  • Mayonnaise
  • Avocado
  • Peeled cucumber
  • Sesame seads
  1. Cut all your ingriedients into even chunks.

  3. Mix crab meat with mayonnaise.
  4. Take your sea weed sheets add rice in an even layer.
  5. Put your ingridients on top and roll it up.

  • Now for the fun part! For tempura you' ll need:

That's it.
