Recipe for Apple Crumble (improvised)

Filling:
3 large apples (granny smith if u want excellent quality apple crumble, otherwise, use leftovers like mine. hahaha!!!), cut into 1 inch pieces.
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp water
Spice? (opt) cinnamon and nutmeg goes well, just a dash!

Crumble:
3/4 cups plain flour
60g cold (straight from the fridge!!!) butter, cubed
2 tbsp sugar (can add more if u want it sweeter but I think 2 is enough)
1-2 tbsp walnuts (I just used what was left! haha..)
A pinch of salt

Directions:
*pre-heat the oven to 180'C*
1) Place the apples into a medium pot, add sugar, water, and a dash of spice, mix well. Stew over medium heat for 15-20 mins (or until soft, not mushy!)
2) Put the flour, sugar, salt and walnuts into a bowl. Using your hands, rub cold butter with the flour mixture until it gives a crumbly texture.
3) When the apple's ready, place it evenly on a low pie dish, sprinkle the crumbles on top until it covers the apple completely.
4) Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crumble is golden brown.
5) Serve with ice-cream or whipped cream (opt).
