Apples are in season in Australia so they inspired my baking this week. I made an Apple Crumble Slice – it consists of a cake like base, a layer of cinnamon flavoured apple, and then finished off with a crumble topping. It is delicious served either warm or cold, with a dusting of icing sugar.

I adore apple desserts! but I’ve never had this one, so I’m going to add it to my recipe folder to try this year. Looks so moist and delicious!
I must try this, it looks so delicious.
I must try this one. Apple season is here so your recipe will be just perfect. By the way, I have made your custard shortbreads, and they were fantastic! (I even did a post on my blog) Thanks for the recipes girls!
Yum Yummy — this looks wonderful Lisa!
Streusel…our favourite afternoon coffee/tea cake! Yours looks marvelous!
I bet this will really smell really good coming from the kitchen…Yummy!
Your photos look amazing. Very clean and appetizing. I’d love to try out this recipe sometime. I would love if you check out my baking blog: Pass the Cocoa.

I made this Apple Crumb yesterday and it turned out great! I will be making this recipe often! Thank you for sharing this great recipe! Much appreciated too!
Glad you love it as much as we do! It never lasts for long when we bake it. Have a wonderful week.
Hello. I made this apple crumble slice for dessert tonight, and everyone was in heaven. So thank you. A definite keeper. Lynn
Glad your family enjoyed it as much as we do! Lisa
Out of all the recipes I looked at this reminds me of my Nanna’s apple crumble. Fingers crossed I do it right & it tastes as good as it looks in these pictures.
Thanks Sheree – it is really good – hope you enjoy it!
I made this with apples and mulberries. Absolutely divine!
Sounds delicious!
How long will it last in the fridge? I would love to make this for an event in 2 days?
Hi Sam – I have made this and frozen it if I need it in advance. It would probably still be fine int he fridge for a couple of days.
Can you use tinned apples and add sultanas to the middle also can you use a cake mix for the bottom layer as you do with apples sour cream slice ??
Hi Tania – I am sure you could experiment with cake mix for the bottom layer. Tinned apples would work well – just add some cinnamon for extra flavour. Happy baking!
yummy thanks for great recipie
This is a delicious slice l made it last night Will definitely be a favourite in our house.
Made this tonight it tasted delicious will be making again new go for when I need to stew apples.
Very nice. A little fiddly with the two steps for the base and crumble whereas other recipes having the same mixture for Both which is halved. I used wholemeal plain flour for the crumble to add a nutty texture. The base was very sticky and buttery and very hard to spread out on the tray but very nice flavour.
These are absolutely delicious. I make these every year for our Macmillan coffee morning and everyone always comments on how good they are. Soooooo scrummy. For our fathers day dinner in a couple of weeks my dad has requested this for pudding – everyone loves it!
It is a big favourite in my family as well!
This is THEE easiest and most delicious crumble. I make it regularly. Delicious cold as a slice but even more so heated with a big dollop of cream. Reminds me of my Nanas baking xxx
Our kids love it!!
I always make a double batch and use 2x tins of diced apples to save me time.
