Why this recipe works
Crispy apple crumb without watery fruit layer
Apple varieties give off a different amount of juice. Therefore mix the pieces with little Cornflour and do not allow the baking form to become unnecessarily deep. For coarse crumble topping the butter must be cold and only briefly incorporated. Press a part of the mixture into small lumps to create fine and coarse crumble topping simultaneously.
