Apple Crumble dilemma? Cook the apples first?

I usually slice the apples quite thinly then put the crumble mixture on top and put the dish on a baking sheet.

I usually give them a short blast in the microwave; not long enough to send them to mush, but just enough to keep their shape and texture and the oven will do the rest.

Apple crumble on the menu tonight, but do I cook the bramley apples first? I have tried both ways. When I precook them, the crumble is far too soggy. But when I tried another recipe, just putting the crumble on top of the sliced apples, they were still hard when the crumble was cooked. Googling it, can find recipes for both ways.
Advice please?
