Ingredients

Crumble Topping

  • 200 g plain flour
  • 90 g caster sugar
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 160 g unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • pinch salt

Rhubarb and Apple Filling

  • 300 g Bramley apples peeled, cored, diced into 2.5cm cubes
  • 700 g rhubarb cut into 4cm strips
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla paste
  • 1 lemon zest and juiced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan).
  • To make the crumble topping, put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together. Add the cold crushed butter and rub in with your fingertips to a breadcrumb consistency.
  • Spread onto a tray and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, checking and stiring every 10 minutes until golden. Leave to cool slightly, then break up into a crumble texture.
  • Meanwhile, toss the apples, rhubarb and sugar together with the vanilla paste and lemon zest and juice. Cook in a saucepan over a medium heat for about 15-20 minutes until the apples are tender and broken down. Transfer to an ovenproof dish.
  • Top with the cooked crumble and flash in the oven for a final 15 minutes before serving with custard or icecream.
