Serves 6
• 300g plain white flour
• 150g small oats
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds
• 50g raw sugar or brown
• 150g caster sugar
• 200g unsalted butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 6 apples (Cox's)
• 6 ripe plums
1. Toast the walnuts at 200C for 5 minutes. Chop roughly.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients together between your fingers. Work in the slightly softened butter, rub together with your fingers. Once you have a crumbly mix you are done. Peel and chop up the apples into hunks. Slice the plums in half and take the stones out.
3. Fill an ovenproof dish about half-full with the fruit mixture. Sprinkle with a few tbsp of sugar and water. Then cover with crumble mix but not too tightly. Bake at 180C for 45 minutes. Check the fruit is cooked by spearing it with a small knife. If not, turn down and keep cooking. The crumble should be crisp and golden brown. Serve with custard, cream or vanilla ice cream.
