Hi all! I hope you are having a fantastic week so far. Today's another baking post-  my previous one was super popular (if you haven't seen that blog post, I teach you how to make delicious chocolate puddings - you can click HERE to see that), so I thought I'd share with you another one of my favorite desserts. 

Apple crumble is a classic dessert, there's so many different recipes and toppings out there, but this is my favorite. This recipe is my mum's, it's honestly so delicious, and you can modify it to how you like (less spices, different fruit, etc...). It's super simple, and it's one of those meals with takes zero time to prepare, and you can just chuck it in the oven and that's that. Enjoy! 

For the apple filling you will need:

5-6 apples (I use Granny Smith apples)

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

extra butter for greasing

For crumble you will need:

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1 1/2 cups sugar
170 grams butter 
1 cup rolled oats

Grease your dish with a generous amount of butter. Preheat the over to 
180 degrees Celsius

Peel and chop apples into bite sized pieces, and add the brown sugar and cinnamon and stir. Set aside.

In a food processor, blitz your butter, sugar, mixed spice, and cinnamon until it resembles a bread crumb texture. I had blitzed mine a little too long, so it started gathering into pieces, but in a way that's actually quite delicious!

Remove from processor and put into a bowl, add oats and stir.

Pour apples into the greased dish, and then crumble on top. You can make the top of the crumble smooth if you like, however I like mine more rustic and "homely". Place in the oven and bake for 40-55 minutes - when the top is golden brown and the apples are soft when you push a skewer through them it's ready to take out of the oven. 

And Tada! I hope you enjoyed this blog post - I really encourage you to try this recipe, it is so delicious and yummy, especially with ice cream or whipped cream. Let me know if you try it out, or your going to try it out, and make sure to leave any future blog requests in the comments. If you have a blog of you own, please let me know in the comments as well, as I'm always looking for new blogs to read. Love you all!

Best chocolate puddings ever!

Follow me on bloglovin: http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11555387/aliceolivia

Hi lovelies! Today's blog post is not a fashion or beauty post, but a cooking one! I love food, especially baking :) 

As you guys get to know me a little more, you will soon discover that I am the world's biggest chocoholic, to the point where I have an unhealthy obsession with this life changing food. Food is a huge part of my life, just like makeup and fashion, so today I am here to share with you one of the world's greatest chocolate recipes, that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 

This recipe is by Laura Calder - she calls it Moelleuz au Chocolat; others call it Chocolate Lava Cake, I just call it Chocolate Puddings. This recipe is truly fantastic and I feel like if I did not share this with you, I haven't lived to my fullest potential. This recipe can be cooked straight after making it, or you can refrigerate the batter in the ramekins, and cook them when you are ready to. 

They are so easy and fast to make, but they look stunning and are very satisfying. 

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup butter, plus more for greasing
• 4 ounces (115 grams) of dark chocolate - I used Whittakers 72% cocoa Dark Ghana chocolate
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup flour

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius)

Grease 5 - 6 ramekins with butter (this recipe will make 5 larger puddings, or 6 smaller puddings). I usually skip this next step, but if you are wanting to remove the puddings from their molds when you serve them,  line the bottom of each ramekin with baking paper.

In a double boiler, melt your chocolate and butter, stirring frequently.

Once the chocolate and butter has completely melted, and looks extremely tempting to eat, remove from double boiler.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together to a thick pale ribbon like consistency.

After the sugar and egg is combined,whisk in the flour well. The mixture should look thick and pale.

Then, whisk in the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture , making sure to whisk constantly until combined. I recommend resting the bowl on a tea towel or cloth, as the bowl can slide around, and you have no free hands to hold it!

Pour the combined mixture into the greased ramekins, leaving a small space at the top.

I then like to place mine on a tray, as it makes it easier to put into and pull out of the oven. 

However, if you don't want to cook them right away, you can simply put some plastic wrap over the top of the tray,  leave them in the fridge, and cook them later when you want to. 

Place in the oven and cook for 12-14 minutes, until the top is set.

Yum! After baking them, you can remove your puddings from the ramekins onto the dish you want to serve them on, but I don't, since I feel its unnecessary, and it's just added difficulty. 

I like to have mine with whipped cream, but ice cream works well or they are still delicious just by themselves.

The center is so gooey and delicious, I am literally salivating writing this! 

There you go! I hope you enjoyed this post, and I really do recommend trying this recipe out yourself, it is incredible!
