Ingredients

  • 4 large cooking apples
  • 1 heaped tsp white sugar
  • 450 g plain flour
  • 225 g butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/gas 4.
  2. Peel and slice the apples. Put them in a saucepan with the white sugar and enough water to cover, then simmer for 5 minutes so they soften while retaining their shape.
  3. Divide the apple mixture between four ramekins, filling each about halfway.
  4. Rub the butter into the flour to make crumbs, then mix in the brown sugar.
  5. Cover the apples with the crumble mixture and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden.
