Treat your ingredients with care...

• Apples — Choose firm and slightly tart apples such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady for the best flavor and texture.
• Rolled oats — Use traditional rolled oats, not instant oats, for a better texture in the crumble topping.
• Desiccated coconut — If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, you can use toasted desiccated coconut.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the apple mixture before baking.
• Experiment with different spices such as cardamom or ginger to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
• Serve the apple crumble warm for the best taste and texture.
• If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can increase the amount of brown sugar in the apple mixture.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.

Serving advice

Serve the Malay-inspired apple crumble warm as a comforting dessert. For an indulgent treat, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder or desiccated coconut on top of the crumble before serving. Serve it in individual dessert bowls or ramekins for an elegant touch.
