Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling:

  • 2 Large Apples peeled, cored and chopped into 1-2cm chunks
  • 4 Large Pears peeled, cored and chopped into 1-2cm chunks
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 0.5 Teaspoon Nutmeg

For the Crumble:

  • 250 g Plain Flour
  • 150 g Porridge Oats
  • 150 g Soft Light Brown Sugar
  • 200 g Butter

Instructions

  • To make the crumble add the flour, oats, sugar and butter to a large mixing bowl.
  • Rub together with clean hands, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, and is even.
  • Set to one side.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan-assisted) and find a large ovenproof dish.
  • Peel and chop the apples and pears and place in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle on the cinnamon and nutmeg, and mix with a wooden spoon until it’s mixed through the fruit.
  • Tip into the ovenproof dish and spread out evenly.
  • Sprinkle over the crumble topping until the fruit is covered and the top is even.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes until the top is browning.

Notes

  • If you are using margarine, you won’t need as much. Start by rubbing in 3 tablespoons and then add more as needed, a little at a time.
