Apple and Rhubarb Crumble

A classic which goes well with custard. Any UK kid would have had this pudding at one point. Relive the experience or if you have tried crumble give it a go.

Serves 4-6

Fruit Filling
3-4 Cooking Apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
4 Stalks of Rhubarb, sliced
1 tbsp Honey
1 tsp Cinnamon
50g Caster Sugar
Water to cover the base of the Pan

Crumble
140g Plain Flour
80g Butter, chilled, cubed
50g Light Brown Sugar
50g Oats
50g Flaked Almonds

1. Preheat the oven to 200c/180c fan assisted. Stew the the fruit by putting a pan over a medium low heat. Put water in to just cover the base and the fruit. Stew for 10 minutes. Stir during this time so it doesn't burn. Add the honey, cinnamon and sugar and give a final stir.

2. Make the crumble by taking a mixing bowl and adding the butter and flour. Rub the butter between the thumbs and fingers. Its a messy business but its so much fun. It should start to resemble crumbs. Then stir in the rest of the crumble ingredients. 

3. Pour the fruit in an oven proof dish. Then cover with the crumble mixture. Put in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The top should be golden brown. Enjoy with cream or custard.
