  • {'group': 'Filling', 'item': '60g light brown soft sugar'}
  • {'group': 'Filling', 'item': '1 tsp ground cinnamon'}
  • {'group': 'Crumble', 'item': '150g unsalted butter, cubed'}

  • {'group': 'Crumble', 'item': '75g jumbo oats'}
  • {'group': 'Crumble', 'item': '75g light brown soft sugar'}
  • {'group': 'Crumble', 'item': 'Pinch of sea salt flakes'}

Preparation

  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples into 2cm pieces.
  2. Juice the lemon.
  3. In a slow cooker, combine the apples, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon, tossing to coat evenly.
  4. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. In a mixing bowl, rub the butter into the flour using your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Stir in the oats, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add 2 tbsp of water and gently shake the bowl to form larger crumble pieces.
  4. Spread the crumble over the apple mixture in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover with a clean tea towel under the lid to absorb steam.
  6. Cook on low for 3 hours until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden.
  7. For a crispier topping, transfer the slow cooker bowl to a preheated oven at 200°C (180°C (350°F (175°C)) fan) for 10-15 mins.

Plating & Serving

Serve the apple crumble warm, optionally with custard, ice cream, or double cream.

Notes

For added flavour, consider mixing ground ginger or flaked almonds into the crumble. Ensure your slow cooker bowl is ovenproof if transferring to the oven.
