Tart apples balance the sweet topping, while baking until the filling bubbles ensures the fruit juices thicken properly.

Ingredients

• 900 g apples, peeled and sliced
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 60 g caster sugar
• 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 120 g rolled oats
• 100 g plain flour
• 100 g brown sugar
• 110 g cold butter, cubed
• 0.25 tsp salt

Step-by-step method

1. Heat the oven to 190°C conventional or 170°C fan and lightly butter a baking dish.
2. Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, caster sugar and cinnamon, then spread them evenly in the dish.
3. Mix oats, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl.
4. Rub or cut the cold butter into the oat mixture until you have uneven crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
5. Scatter the crumble loosely over the apples without pressing it down.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges.
7. Rest for 10 minutes before serving warm, allowing the filling to thicken slightly.
