California Prune, Apple & Almond Crumble

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

2. In a medium sized saucepan cook the apples with the sugar and a splash of water until soft but not puréed.

   • 8 Bramley Apples (peeled, cored & roughly chopped)

3. Add the California Prunes and place in an oven dish. Mix together the flour, ground almonds and brown sugar then, using only your fingertips, rub the butter into the mix.

   • 200g California Prunes
   • 200g Plain White Flour
   • 100g Ground Almonds
   • 75g Billington's Unrefined Light Muscovado Sugar
   • 100g Butter (cold, cut into small cubes)

4. Sprinkle the crumble mix over the apple and California Prune mixture and place in the pre-heated oven.

5. Check after 30 minutes – the crumble is ready when it starts to bubble and the topping becomes brown and crisp. Serve hot with custard.
