Spiced apples and a crunchy topping make this warming bake a go-to treat for the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 800g apples, cored (4 medium apples)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
Crumble topping
  • 4 Weet-Bix™, crushed
  • 1/4 cup whole spelt or wholemeal flour
  • 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup margarine (60g)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Cut apples into 1 cm thin slices. Turn on oven to 180°C.

  2. Step 2

    While oven pre-heats, place water, spices, and apple slices into a large oven-proof skillet. Bring to the boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring a few times, until apples are soft but not falling apart.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar and margarine in a medium bowl, and mix with a large spoon until smooth. Add crushed

  4. Step 4

    Remove apples from stove, stir through lemon juice and sultanas. Scatter the crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling.

  5. Step 5

    Bake crumble for 20 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving warm, or make in advance and serve at room temperature.

Tips

  • Top with a dollop of Greek yoghurt to serve, if you wish.
  • We left the peel on our apples but you can remove it before slicing.
  • If you don’t have a oven-proof skillet: cook apples in a saucepan then carefully transfer to a 20cm round or square baking dish, before topping with crumble and baking.
