Ingredients

APPLE FILLING
1kg Granny Smith Apples (green apples), weight before peeling
1 tbsp flour, plain / all-purpose
1/2 cup white sugar (sub brown sugar)
2 tbsp lemon juice (or water)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon TOPPING
1 cup rolled oats / oatmeal (quick cooking is ok)
1 cup flour, plain / all-purpose
1 cup (loosely packed) brown sugar (sub white sugar)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon powder
125g / 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of salt

TO SERVE
Vanilla ice cream

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F (both fan and standard).
2. Apple – Peel apples, then cut into 1.5cm/ 1/2” cubes.
3. Apple filling – Place apples in a bowl. Sprinkle with flour, sugar and cinnamon,
then pour over lemon juice. Toss, then spread out evenly in a 1.5 litre/1.5
quart baking dish.
4. Crumble topping – Place Topping ingredients in a bowl. Mix until clumps form,
like wet sand (see video). Spread over the apples, crumbling with fingers if
required to get that crumbly topping.
5. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove, cover loosely with
foil to keep warm and let stand for 10 minutes before serving (let's the apple
syrup thicken slightly).
6. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
