1. Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional180C/gas 4. Butter a 1.5 litre ovenproof pie dish.
2. Peel, core and slice the apples. Halve, stone and quarter the plums. Put the apples in a pan with the lemon juice, sugar and 1 tbsp water. Bring to the boil, then cover and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the plums and cook for a further 5 minutes.
3. Turn the fruit into the prepared dish. Tip the flour and cinnamon into a bowl, add the butter, cut into small pieces and rub in with your fingertips. Stir in the sugar, then add the egg and milk and mix lightly to a soft batter (this can be done in the food processor).
4. Drop tablespoonsful of the batter over the fruit, leaving gaps where the fruit peers through, then scatter over the nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping has a crisp brown crust.

  My fruit went a bit mushy first time when precooking. Tried it again but microwaved the apple slices briefly to soften. Omitted the lemon juice and water and halved the sugar. Left the plums raw and added a few blackberries. Preferred the chunkier fruit and it tasted delicious!

  Just made this for the second time and I love it for the easy and speed of cooking! Varied it slightly tonight and replaced the plums with gooseberries, lemon juice with (a good slug of) ameretto and chopped nuts sprinkled over the top. It was more liquid than my first attempt due to the ameretto but tasted amazing.
