Calories 391kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g Plain Flour
- 150 g Porridge Oats
- 150 g Light Brown Soft Sugar + 1 Tablespoon
- 200 g Butter at room temperature
- 3 Large Apples Peeled, cored, and chopped into 1-2cm chunks
- 8 Ripe Plums Cut into 1/4s, stone removed
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (fan-assisted) and find a deep, heatproof cooking dish.
- Place the flour, sugar, and oats in a large mixing bowl and stir together.
- Cut the butter into cubes and add to this bowl. Use your fingers to rub to breadcrumbs.
- Set to one side.
- Place the apples in a large saucepan.
- Add a tablespoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Warm over medium heat on the hob, stirring for 5 minutes until starting to soften.
- If the apples start to stick add a small splash of water.
- Tip these warmed apples into the baking dish.
- Nestle the plums on top (or mix in).
- Sprinkle over the crumble topping.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
- If your apples are very firm, it might take a little longer to soften them.
- Don’t warm the apples for that long that they start to break up, they just want to be slightly softer.
- This is a huge portion of the crumble topping. If you don’t like such a thick layer, or your baking dish isn’t deep enough, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight tub or bag.
