Print recipeIngredients
- 25g Caster Sugar
- 25g Demerera Sugar
- 100g Unsalted Butter (chilled and cubed)
- 50g Ground Almonds
- 100g Plain Flour
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (alternatively, use Ground Ginger)
- handful Rolled Oats (optional)
- 900g Fruit (cooking apples need to be softened in a pan first)
Directions
| 1. | Mix the flour, ground almonds and spices in a large mixing bowl |
| 2. | Rub in the cold butter with the pads of your fingers until a bread crumb consistency is achieved. Try and do this by hand, but if you do use a processor, pulse so as not to over blend. You dont want the crumbs to be too fine |
| 3. | Add in the sugars, and stir through |
| 4. | Sprinkle a little water over the top and rake through with a fork until a few small lumps are formed |
| 5. | Place the crumb mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes while you pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 6 / 200°C / 400°F |
| 6. | Put the fruit into a buttered shallow baking dish. If needed, sprinkle with a little extra sugar |
| 7. | Sprinkle the topping over the fruit evenly. Do not press down. Lastly, sprinkle with a handful of oats if using then bake for ½ hour until the fruit is hot and bubbling |
| 8. | Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving with custard, or ice cream |
