Ingredients
- 8 small, sweet eating apples, such as Cox’s
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 50g butter
- 75g caster sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 50ml Calvados or brandy
- Topping
- 60g flour
- 60g oats
- 5 nutmeg, grated
- A pinch of ground allspice
- 40g Demerara sugar
- 60g butter, chilled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Peel and core the apples and cut them into chunks. Squeeze over the lemon juice to prevent them going brown.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter and sugar together until it turns golden brown.
- Add the salt, then add the apples and cook until it has split, then come together again, about 5–10 minutes. Pour over the Calvados.
- Meanwhile, to make the topping, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt and rub in the cold butter with your finger tips so that you have small clumps.
- Transfer the apples to a baking dish and sprinkle over the crumble topping. Place in the oven for 30 minutes until golden. Serve with custard, cream or crème fraîche.
