Found hubbie's favourite recipe for crumble!! Very sweet and rather fattening however it has fruit so surely that balances it out :) Can replace with most fruits.
Oven to 190 celsius
Rub 110 grams butter into 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup bran and 3/4 cup brown sugar until it looks like bread crumbs. Sprinkle over 6 large cooked apples, cored and peeled, cooked in water and white sugar. Granny Smiths are the nicest.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Serve with ice cream or custard!
