Prep: 20 minutes

Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Crumble topping:

85g plain flour

100g brown sugar

50g granulated sugar

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ginger

115g butter

75g sliced almonds

Apple filling:

900g apples

¼ tsp salt

50g sugar

30g butter

Juice of 1 lemon

1 tbsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp corn-starch

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 175 °C (fan).

For the crumble topping, mix together all the dry ingredients, cube the cold butter, add to the flour mixture and with a pastry cutter work the butter into the dry ingredients until the consistency becomes crumby. Mix in the sliced almonds and put the mixture back into the fridge.

Core the apples and cut them into cubes. Make smaller and bigger cubes for more texture. Put them into a large pan, add all the other ‘apple filling’ ingredients and statue it until the butter, corn-starch and sugar is melted.

Pour the apple filling into an ovenproof pish or a large pie dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top and bake for about 30 minutes.

Serve with cold cream or ice cream! Enjoy!
