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.

    Lovely recipe! I used half Bramley apples and half eating apples. Didn't have apricot jam so I used a raspberry and redcurrant jam but only used half the amount. The whole family loved it. Thanks!

    I was really looking forward to trying this recipe but unfortuantly it didnt work for me. I used eating apples but found them a little too sweet and would have prefered more of a tart apple or bramley The topping was not too bad. It would make a good flapjack recipe

    Really nice crumble topping - I did find it a little sweet though - maybe needed to use sharper apples or less apricot jam.

    I have made this three times now - and LOVE it!! To be honest it is the flapjack topping that makes it - those chewy clusters are yummy! I did make one change - I used granny smiths apples for the sharpness and added a tin of pie filling for moistness (can be a bit dry otherwise. Gorgeous!!

    I have done this recipe several times, I rarely use flour in the crumble, just increase the oats quantity or better yet use a very basic mueseli, you then get the oats with nuts and fruit! Marmalade works well instead of jam as well.

    I made this for a family gathering for 7 adults and 3 kids. Compliments all round as everyone loved it - and not a scrap left at the end. Perfect!

    absolutely delicious; a good alternative to traditional crumble which can be a little dry. I mixed in sultanas as well, and only did half the amounts. Will make again!
