Ingredients

6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced

250g caster sugar

200g plain flour

120g butter

1 clove or cinnamon stick

Directions

Put the apple chunks into a pan, add three quarters of the sugar, the cinnamon stick or clove and cover.

Allow to stew gently for half an hour, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Keep checking as they can easily burn at the beginning.

Check that the fruit is cooked by mashing it a bit with a wooden spoon.

The apples should be soft but not puréed.

Put the apples into the serving dish and allow to cool.

Set the temperature of the oven to 150 C / gas 2.

Mix the flour, remaining sugar and the butter with your fingers in a bowl until it becomes like a breadcrumb consistency.

Cover the stewed apples with the crumble topping, without pressing down.

Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown and crunchy.

Spoon a helping of crumble into a dish and serve with cream or ice cream.
