Ingredients:

Pastry

• 375g/12oz Odlums Cream Plain Flour
• 175g/6oz Butter
• 150ml/¼pt Cold Water

Filling

• 2 Large Cooking Apples
• 2-3 tablespoons Sugar, to sweeten

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5. Lightly grease two 12 cup bun trays.
2. Peel, core and roughly chop apples. Place in a saucepan with sugar and a little water (2-3 tablespoons) over a low heat, stirring occasionally until softened.

6. Add in sugar and oats and mix together.
7. Put spoonfuls of stewed apple into each of the pastry bases and then top with crumble mixture.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with custard, a scoop of ice cream, freshly whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
