Toffee Apple Crumble

I love toffee apples and this is a great way to include their delicious flavour in a pudding! Bramleys really are the best cooking apple by far – I love their unique, tart flavour, and coupled with toffee, they make a great combination.

Ingredients

• 175g soft brown sugar
• zest and juice of 2 large lemons
• 3 Bramley apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
• 300g Gluten-Free Flour Mix A
• 150g unsalted butter, very cold
• 80g caster sugar

Method

1. Pre heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.
2. Place the sugar in a large saucepan over a low heat and bring to the boil. The sugar will melt to form a clear liquid.
3. Heat the liquid until it turns a pale amber colour. This will take about 10-15 minutes being careful not to overheat.
4. Add the apples along with the lemon zest and juice to the pan, and cook for 5Ð6 minutes. Place in a 3cm deep, 24cm square baking dish.
5. Place the flour and butter in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Just pulse in the caster sugar, do not overwork. Carefully spoon the topping over the cooked apples.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until well browned and cooked.
7. Serve warm.

Tips

I serve my crumble with ice cream or custard.
