  2. Peel apples, then cut into 1.5cm/1/2” cubes.
  3. Place apples in a bowl. Sprinkle with flour, sugar and cinnamon, then pour over lemon juice. Toss, then spread out evenly in a 1.5 litre/1.5 quart baking dish.
  4. Place Topping ingredients in a bowl. Mix until clumps form, like wet sand. Spread over the apples, crumbling with fingers if required.

Notes

This Apple Crumble is not overly sweet, and the filling is juicy and syrupy.
