What makes this apple crumble “old-fashioned” compared to modern versions?

Richard’s crumble stays true to tradition with just apples, butter, sugar, flour, and warm spices. Many modern versions add oats, nuts, or extras, but this classic follows the time-honoured British style: simple, rustic, and comforting. It’s all about the natural sweetness of spiced apples with that buttery crumble topping — no bells and whistles, just the flavours generations grew up loving.

How do I achieve the perfect golden topping when reheating from frozen?

Bake in two stages: cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes to gently cook the apples, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the topping turns golden and crisp. Covering first ensures the fruit heats evenly without drying out the topping. When uncovered, the butter and sugar caramelise, giving you that perfect crunchy-on-top, tender-underneath contrast.

Is the portion size more suited for one or for sharing?

It’s intentionally sized for 1–2 people. A generous serve makes a hearty dessert for one, especially with cream or custard, but it’s also just right to share after dinner. It reflects the old-fashioned style of dessert — satisfying, indulgent, but never over the top.

Warm, Simple, and Made to Share - Just Like Grandma Made

"There is something wonderfully nostalgic about crumbles. The way they are unadorned and almost peasant-like in appearance and preparation. It makes me wax lyrical of simpler days, of cozy spaces and warm homes. I still believe that one of the greatest pleasures of life is for loved ones to gather around the table and this was always a childhood favourite of mine, and still is." – Richard

Richard’s old-fashioned apple crumble is just like the ones that filled kitchens with the scent of cinnamon and baked apples in days gone by. Warm, simple, and endlessly comforting, this dessert feels like a hug from the past — the kind of pudding that turns any evening into something memorable. Perfectly spiced apples are tucked under a golden, buttery crumble topping that crisps beautifully in the oven, bringing back all the cosy feelings of childhood desserts made with love.

Each spoonful captures the charm of old-fashioned cooking, where simple ingredients came together to make something extraordinary. Served with cream, custard, or ice cream, it’s the kind of dessert that brings people closer around the table — a timeless treat for sharing moments big and small.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Richard

My cooking style is definitely a traditional European style (British, French and Italian) and now there are so many ingredients available I can put a modern twist on things. Some recipes come from old cook books I have found at markets with bits of paper inserted in between pages or pencil scribblings by recipes and I find it exciting that a previous generation were doing the same as we are now - adding their particular 'signature' to a dish that has been passed down through families and generations. My favourite chef is Rachel Khoo who ran a 2 seat restaurant from her tiny bedsit flat in Paris with a 2 burner stove. I spend hours in books shops looking through recipe books for ideas and whilst I don't follow a recipe as such, I like to get the philosophy behind it.
