    Chef's Tip

    Just pulsing in the sugar into the crumble ensures that the mixture does not cake up, but keeps the crumble nice and loose. The secret with crumble is to eat it warm, not hot with lashings of custard. I also like to serve vanilla ice cream with this; the hot and cold mix is lovely This also freezes well.
