Ingredients

Crumble

Method

1.

Cut apple quarters into thick slices and put into a medium-sized saucepan. Add water, lemon juice, sugar and salt, cover and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for a couple of minutes. Add feijoa pulp to the saucepan, stir then cover and cook for a further 2 minutes until lightly poached. Drain into a colander in the sink and leave while preparing the crumble topping.

2.

In a deep bowl mix together flour, oats, ground almonds, brown sugar and ginger. Rub in the butter until the mixture is clinging together in clumps. (Try using a grater to grate the cold butter straight into the mixture. I usually grate some then rub it in, grate some more and rub it in until the butter is finished.)

3.

Transfer the drained fruit to a greased ovenproof dish or individual cocottes. The fruit should fill three quarters of the dish. Sprinkle crumble over the top of the fruit.

4.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until the crumble is cooked and fruit juices start to bubble up through the crumble. Enjoy with fresh cream, custard or ice cream.
