Name: Apple crumble
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 6–8
Cuisine: Australian
Ingredients: 1 kg Granny Smith apples, peeled, 1.5 cm cubes; 1 tbsp plain flour (filling); ½ cup white sugar; 2 tbsp lemon juice; ½ tsp ground cinnamon (filling); 1 cup rolled oats; 1 cup plain flour (topping); 1 cup loosely packed brown sugar; ½ tsp baking powder; 1 tsp cinnamon (topping); 125 g unsalted butter, melted; Pinch of salt; Ice cream, to serve

Method

Heat oven to 180°C.
Toss apples with flour, sugar, lemon and cinnamon. Pile into a 1.5 litre baking dish.
Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, melted butter and salt until clumpy.
Scatter topping over apples. Bake 30–40 minutes until the top is golden and apples are bubbling.
Rest 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Tip: Granny Smiths hold their shape and stay tart against the sweet topping. Rest 10 minutes so the juices thicken. Brown sugar plus oats is the flavour of the crumble.
