This recipe can be adapted to use whatever fruit is delicious and in season. It is particularly good made with rhubarb or blackberries. My personal favourite is an apple and rhubarb combination. You can try other fruits. Be creative!
4 or 5 medium apples Granny Smith or other tart apples.
The juice of one fresh lemon.

Put a piece of aluminium foil over the apples, cut a few holes in the top and bake for 30 minutes. 6. Meanwhile, combine the crumble ingredients in a large bowl. 7. Mix together sugar, flour and cinnamon. 8. Add the butter, and mix the ingredients together coarsely with your fingers, pinching the mixture to form small crumbs. 9. Once the apples have baked, remove from the oven. 10. Spread the crumble evenly on the fruit and return to the oven uncovered. 11. Bake in a moderate oven (180, 200ºC ) for approximately 45 minutes until the top is light brown. 12. Serve warm or cold with custard, cream or vanilla ice cream.
