Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6. Grab a 25cm (10in) round shallow ovenproof pie dish.
- In a wide-based pan, combine the apples with 2 tablespoons of water and butter. Cook over a gentle heat for around 6 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apples become tender. Take it off the heat, mix in the sugar, and let it cool.
- Measure the ingredients into a large bowl and rub them together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Spoon the cooled apples into the pie dish, leveling the surface. Sprinkle an even layer of crumble topping over the apples, then add a dash of extra demerara sugar.
- Pop it into the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4 and bake for another 20 minutes until it turns golden and starts bubbling.
- Serve it hot with
lemon curd , custard, ice cream, or crème fraîche!
