Possibly The Best Apple Crumble


I have made and eaten quite a lot of apple crumble in my time and this is one of the better ones. Sometimes I have made crumble without flour, using rolled oats and coconut instead, but flour is the best for giving a great smooth texture. I also had a glut of red delicious apples, which I would not have normally used in apple crumble. I think I found this recipe by searching for red delicious recipes. I was a bit heavy handed with the slivered almonds, but it turned out great.
