Sticky Toffee Apple Crumble Ingredients
You’ll only need three ingredients to make this gorgeous autumn pudding.
- Large Bramley apples – peeled, cored and sliced (or use any other cooking apples)
- Toffee sauce – I used the Joe & Seph’s Sticky Toffee Sauce to make our crumble, but supermarkets do their own brand toffee sauce which works just as well. Using shop bought sauce, just cuts out the need to be bubbling up your own caramel sauce in a saucepan.
- Crumble topping – I usually make my own crumble topping but I found this little product in the supermarket – Crumble Topping from McDougalls, so feeling a tad lazy I thought I’d give it a try.
If you prefer to make your own crumble topping – grab our crumble topping with oats recipe here, it’s really easy to make, uses all the regular ingredients like plain flour, unsalted butter and caster sugar and tastes amazing!

Toffee Apple Crumble Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this toffee apple crumble in a different tin/tray?
You can use pretty much any oven safe dish or bowl to make your crumble. Just make sure it’s appropriately sized for the filling. You can use a pie dish, casserole dish or a small roasting tin. They’ll all work just fine.
Can I make this toffee apple crumble into individual portions?
Yes, totally, just get yourself some little oven safe ramekins and divide the ingredients between the individual pots. They’ll also probably cook in less time too, so adjust the cooking times and keep an eye on them as they bake.
Can I freeze this toffee apple crumble?
You can freeze this crumble – baked or unbaked. I usually freeze in the dish I baked it in (which is freezer safe). They last around 3 months in the freezer. However, the crumble topping does soak up some of the fruit moisture so can get a little soggy.
To use – defrost in the fridge over night and then reheat (or cook) in the oven until piping hot throughout.
