Method: 


1. Heat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5.



2. Toss 575g peeled, cored and sliced Bramley apples with 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon then add them to a baking dish. Flatten the apples down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through.



3. Put 175g plain flour and 110g golden caster sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.



4. Add 110g of cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. (Add a little more flour to the mixture if needed.)

5. Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out.



6. Gently press the surface with the back of the fork, so the crumble holds together and goes crisp.



7. Add 1 tbsp rolled oats and 1 tbsp demerara sugar over the top evenly (optional.)

8. Put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples are soft.
