Ingredients

• Bramley Apples x 650g

• Cox's Apples x 230g

• Light Brown Soft Sugar x 40g

• Ground Cinnamon x 1 tsp

• Mixed Spice x 1 tsp

• Vanilla Extract x 1 tsp

• Chilled Salted Butter, Diced Into Small Cubes x 100g

• Self-Raising Flour x 200g

• Ground Cinnamon x 1 tbsp

• Demerara Sugar x 120g

Method

• Apple Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C.

  • Cut apples into quarters, remove the skin using a potato peeler, and slice out the cores.

  • Cut apples into chunky pieces, then add to a bowl.

  • Add sugar, cinnamon, mixed spice, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and toss the apples to mix the seasoning evenly.

  • Place into a baking dish and set aside while you make the topping.

• Crumble Topping (with food processor)

  • Add butter, sifted flour, cinnamon, and sugar in a processor and turn on until it resembles crumbs. Take care not to over-process, as this can make the topping doughy.

  • Spoon the crumble mixture over the dish with the apple filling, spreading to the sides of the dish.

  • Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C on the centre shelf for 40-45 minutes. After cooking, leave to rest for 10 minutes. We used some cranberry jam to decorate.
