Deleted my huge statement about Apple, Apple Macintosh's past and future, about Steve Jobs, the greatest machine on earth, why i use only macs, etc. ... sorry - misread your post.

Over here we call it apple crisp. No matter what you call it - it's delicious. Though not as good as my apple pie. That's right, you heard me, MY apple pie! :)

Well, it's the morning and Nick's still in bed...

Apple crumble:

180 g flour
90 g butter
90 g sugar
mixed together into a crumble (use your hands)

Peel and cut 6-8 apples (not red apples) into bite size pieces, into a medium hot pan with 2 teaspoons lemonjuice and 2 teaspoons brown sugar for 1 minute.

Put the apples in some sort of oven proof dish (what do you call them?), sprinkle a small handfull of porridge oats on, cover with crumble, pat it firmly on (you may have some crumble left over, but it keeps well and can also be frozen). Cook in the oven at 180 degrees for 1/2 hour. Serve with creme fraiche.

This recipe is originally from "Mrs. Beetons", a very traditional Britisk cook book. My aunt lived in England for 10 years and every summer she would visit and make this wonderful apple crumble. I've been using this recipe since I was 12.

Hmmm Hmmm!
Haven't had apple crumble and custard in years.
That's my sunday pudding sorted :)

Thanks Nick & Ivana!

This is making me really, really hungry! I looked up how to make creme fraiche (never heard of it before) and I'm just not sure about that part of the recipe, LOL.

But boy, I think I'll be making a trip to the grocery store for more apples ;)

Ivana,

any chance of making some and then sending Nick on the bus to London in time for Pubcon.

If he leaves tomorrow, he will make it in time...

Jenstar, I think sour cream is more or less the same, creme fraiche is just the French version of it. Whipped cream is nice with apple crumble as well.

I'll tell my aunt that she is famous now! And of course you are all very welcome to visit any time.

This living in the country is turning me into a house wife, there is nothing else to do after work, I'm not sure I like it! I've asked Nick to have a word if I start wearing an apron permanently...

Nick_W,
You make sure you keep Ivana around. A woman who wears stockings AND makes apple crumble is a rare find! :)
