Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 kg Bramley apples
- 2 tablespoons golden caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Good pinch of nutmeg
- 80 mls water
For the crumble
- 150 g plain flour
- 50 g golden caster sugar
- 60 g dairy free margarine
- 50 g jumbo or whole rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons flaked almonds
To finish
- 1 tablespoon demerara sugar
- 4 tablespoons flaked almonds
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 190°C, 170°C fan or gas mark 5.
- Peel and core the Bramley apples. Chop into small cubes and add to a large saucepan. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, water and vanilla. Bring to a low simmer and cook for approximately 5 minutes until the apples have softened. Pour into a baking dish and spread out into an even layer.
- Add the flour and golden caster sugar to a mixing bowl. Slice in the margarine and use your fingers to rub the margarine into the flour until it resembles moist breadcrumbs. Stir in the oats and 2 tbsp of flaked almonds. Pour the mixture evenly on top of the stewed apples. Using the back of a spoon, press down the crumble topping firmly; this will help to form a crunchy topping.
- Finish by sprinkling over the demerara sugar and remaining flaked almonds.
- Place in the oven for 45 minutes. Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream.
