Apple crumble is one of Britain’s favourite desserts . It’s simple, comforting, and found on menus and dinner tables all year round. The classic recipe usually involves stewed apples topped with a buttery oat crumble and served with cream, custard or ice cream .
But one Yorkshire dairy company says there’s an easy way to make it even better. According to Wensleydale Creamery , the secret is adding a savoury twist to the topping, and it comes in the form of cheese. The award-winning producer recommends stirring crumbled Yorkshire Wensleydale into the crumble mixture to take the flavour to the next level.
In a recipe shared on the Wensleydale Creamery website , food writer Helen Miles described the dish as “indulgent, warming and extremely crumbly” - and said pairing the cheese with apple creates a “taste sensation”. The method is simple and doesn’t take long to prepare. 6 apples, peeled, cored and chopped 75g porridge oats 150g plain flour 90g unsalted butter 30g sultanas 1⁄4 tsp cinnamon 70g light muscovado sugar 75g Yorkshire Wensleydale, finely crumbled Wensleydale Creamery recommends serving the crumble with homemade custard or a generous spoonful of crème fraîche.
The dish combines the sweetness of the apples with the slight sharpness of the cheese, adding depth to the flavour and a savoury edge that cuts through the richness..
