Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples and mix with the jam and orange juice. Spread evenly over a buttered 1.5-litre ovenproof dish, not too deep.
  2. Mix the oats, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the butter in small chunks and rub in gently. Stir in the sugar and rub in again. Drizzle over the syrup, mixing with a knife so it forms small clumps. Sprinkle evenly over the apples and bake for 30-35 mins until the juices from the apples start to bubble up. Cool for 10 mins, then serve with custard, cream or ice cream.

MAKING IT WITH OTHER FRUIT

You could use pears, plums or a mixture of winter fruits. A handful of blueberries is also good with the apples.

IF YOU WANT TO USE A SLOW COOKER...

Make this fruity warmer over a few hours. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples and mix with the jam and orange in your slow cooker. Cook on Low for 2-4 hours until tender. When they're nearly done, mix the topping ingredients in a tin and toast under a low grill for 1-2 mins until golden. Transfer your apples to a dish or leave in the pot, sprinkle over the crumble and serve as above.

    This is my ultimate apple crumble recipe. It tastes great especially with ice-cream or custard.

    I halved this recipe because otherwise my family of 4 would have a normal portion and I know I would polish off the rest! It is so delicious.

    Tasted good with a home made custard! I used one large Bramley apple and one eating apple plus frozen berries. The topping was a little too cinnamon-ish for us so will cut down next time. may also try some whole meal flower for different texture. Some roughly chopped almonds on top were delicious for added crunch, our 5 year old ate them off the crumble while it was cooling.

    I didn't think I needed another crumble recipe until I tried this. Followed the recipe for everything (except the jam) and it was delicious.

    Followed the recipe exactly but found the ratio of fruit to crumble was too heavy on the crumble side, and didn't experience the 'flapjack' experience. Will stick to my usual recipe next time.

    Absolutely gorgeous! The flapjack topping really adds something to this classic recipe and is so moreish. We had it with vanilla ice cream. This is definitely a favourite recipe now.
