SPICED APPLE CRUMBLE

SPICED APPLE CRUMBLE

This classic crumble includes two types: tart Bramleys, which break down to a smooth purée as they cook; and Granny Smiths, which stay firmer and introduce a slight sharpness. The nutty wholemeal topping adds an extra, almost salty flavour and a satisfying crunch.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 12

800g Bramley apples (roughly 2 large apples)

800g Granny Smith apples (roughly 4 large apples)

30g butter, plus extra for greasing

150g light muscavado sugar

100g sultanas

100g dates, roughly chopped

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp mixed spice

1 tsp cinnamon

 

Crumble topping

80g wholemeal flour

100g cold, butter, diced

100g rolled oats

50g pecans, finely chopped

50g walnuts, finely chopped

50g desiccated coconut

METHOD

1: Preheat the oven to 180C fan.

2: Peel and core all the apples, then chop into 2cm pieces. Add the Bramley apples to a large pan, along with 200ml water and the butter. Gently simmer for 10 minutes or until the apples begin to break down.

3: Add the Granny Smith apples, sugar, dried fruit and spices and cook for a further 10 minutes.

4: Grease the bottom of a 25cm x 30cm oven dish. Tip in the apple mixture and spread out evenly.

5: To make the crumble, using a large bowl, rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until you reach a crumble texture.

6: Tip in the rolled oats, nuts and coconut and mix together until well combined.

7: Spread over the top of the apples and cook on the middle shelf of the oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden.

8: Serve warm with custard or ice cream.
