Return of Apple Crumble

A friend has come home for a visit from overseas and our 'gang' got together to catch up and such... I decided to mark the occasion by bringing an Apple Crumble along! And judging by the silence, spoon licking, and requests for extra helpings, I'd say it was a hit!

Technically it is a 'Secret Family Recipe', so I won't give the full measurement amounts, but otherwise here's the info:

Ingredients:
Canned Apples - I used imported apples from South Africa. The canned option allows for the right 'softness to crispness' ratio and, frankly, is way easier than peeling, coring and chopping apples from the produce department!
Cinnamon
Flour
Sugar
Margarine/Butter
Salt.

Method: 
Plunk the apples into your pie dish, sprinkle with cinnamon. By hand, or mixer, mix all other ingredients together until it is 'crumbly'... don't over mix, as it can become dough-y very quickly!  Then crumble it all onto the apple, bake for 30 min at 375!

I served it with vanilla ice-cream, but you could also serve with custard etc.

No photo of this pie - it was consumed too quickly!
