Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven. Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5. Toss this apples using the sugar and put in a (2 tbsp) 23cm round baking dish no less than 5cm deep, or one 20cm square dish.

  2. 2

    Finish. Flatten down using your hand in order to prevent too much crumble falling through. Set the flour plus 110g sugar in a bowl using a good pinch of salt, slice in this butter plus rub it in using your fingertips till the mixture looks as if it were moist breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Blend. Shake the bowl plus any big bits will come in order in order to this surface – rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor till sandy (don’t over-process).

  4. 4

    Blend (2). Tip the crumb blend over the apples in order to form a pile in the middle, next use a fork to even out. Lightly push the surface using this back of this fork so the crumble holds together plus goes crunchy, next gently drag this fork over this top for a decorative finish.

  5. 5

    Bake. Scatter the oats and demerara over uniformly, if you wish. Stand on a baking tray and set in the heated oven for 35-40 minutes, till the top is amber plus this apples feel very soft when you insert one little, sharp knife.

  6. 6

    Finish (2). Leave till it is cold for 10 minutes before serving.
