Recipe Name: Winter Apple Crumble

Makes: 8 - 12 servings based on portion sizes

Kitchen Must Haves:

• Stockpot

• Baking Dish (25cm x 30cm)

• Sharp Knife to cut apples

• Wooden Spoon

• Measuring Cup

• Sharp Knife to cut veggies for the Stockpot

Ingredients:

• 1.5 kg mixed apples

• 150 g golden caster sugar

• 50 g unsalted butter , (cold)

• 100 g plain flour

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C

2. Peel and core the apples, then quarter and chop into 3cm chunks.

Easy Swaps:

• Ripe pears are fantastic in place of the apples. Simply peel, core and cut into chunks.

• If you don’t have a lemon to hand, use orange or lime zest instead.

• You could add rolled oats for a lovely golden topping.
