Method
Heat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5. First, make the topping. Using fingertips, rub together the butter, flour, oats and sugar in a large bowl until you have a rough crumble mix and set aside.
Peel, core and chop the apples into 3cm chunks, then mix through the lemon juice and sugar. Put a saucepan over a medium heat and melt the butter. Add the fruit to the pan and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the fruit to a 3 litre baking dish, then tumble the crumble mixture on top; don’t pack it down!
Put the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the crumble is golden on top and the fruit is soft and bubbling underneath.
Serve warm from the oven with Yorvale ice-cream or Harrogate Cake Co. vanilla custard.
