2kgs of cooking apples 50g caster sugar (for cooking the fruit) 100g plain flour 50g wholemeal flour 50g porridge oats 100g unsalted butter 200g light golden brown sugar Butter to grease baking dish
Method:
Preheat the oven to 170oC/Gas Mark 5. Core, peel and chop the apples into smallish chunks and cook in a saucepan with a splash of water and the caster sugar over a medium heat until softening (still with a bit of bite and not a pulp). This takes about 5 minutes. Put the plain and wholemeal flours and the oats into a mixing bowl and chop in the butter. Use your fingertips to crumble the flour, oats and butter together until it starts to resemble breadcrumbs. Add the brown sugar and mix well with a fork. Place the cooked apples in a large greased baking dish and scatter the crumble mixture on top – press it down lightly but do not over-compact it. Bake for 35–40 minutes. Delicious on its own, even better with custard or vanilla ice-cream.
After eating a couple of the freshly baked sausage rolls for tea, Eva tucked into a portion of the crumble. Adorned with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream it was delicious.
Time was pushing on and when the caterers arrived Eva set to work helping to prepare a space on a table for mulled wine, vodka and cranberry juice cocktails and another table for the food. Various tasty bites filled large white serving platters. There were delicate cheese straws, canapés of chicken satay sticks, goats cheese and Parma ham wrapped together in crispy pastry and other savouries that included pork and cranberry patties, figcrostini with melted stilton sitting beside an equally appealing array of bite-size desserts.
It was getting dark by the time they left and they decided on an early dinner. This time it was chicken wings that Luke was after and his eyes popped at the high pile of spicy ‘buffalo’ wings that were placed in front of him.
