Scrumptious Apple Crumble

-

I made this apple crumble the other day and oh boy, was it good. It is also really simple and quick to make. all you need is:

Apples
Sugar
Cinnamon powder
butter
pinch of lemon juice

Preheat your oven to 325F. Then Take a few of any kind of apples (the more apples you use, the more apple crumble you will have; so use a lot ...). I used the macintosh and granny smith apples. Peel off the skin of the apple then cut them into wedges (cut the entire apple in half then in slices going longwise.) Once you do this put your apples into a big bowl and squeeze a pinch of lemon juice on your apples so that they won't get black. (Note don't put too much lemon juice or your crumble will be sour crumble.

Then pour a little sugar and a little cinnamon onto the apples. I don't want to say an exact amount because with apple crumble some people like it very sweet and others not so much, some like it with loads of cinnamon and others with very little so put as much as you think you would like. I say do not put anymore than about a 1/2 cup of sugar because apples are already sweet but sprinkle your cinnamon on the apples and mix it around. Even though you may not like cinnamon it gives the crumble a great flavor. After putting your cinnamon and sugar mix it all together with your hand until it is all absorbed into the apples. The apples will look like they are breaded with sugar and cinnamon. Once this is done. Put your apples into an oven tray. Preferrably a pyrex.

Then in a separate bowl put some flour and a few big spoons of butter and you ARE NOT going to mix this in but instead rub them together  in the palm of your hand until it is all blending and sticking together yet crumbly and a creamish color. You want it to look like big cracker crumbs.  You then throw the crumbs you just made on the top of your apple filling. (This is the crumble for the top) You then put it in the oven for about 1 hour and until it starts to brown. Remove it and serve it with  ice cream.

It is really good hot or cold. I like it best hot. Sooooooo very delicious. Try it.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
