This recipe is great it makes one portion it can be edited easily if you want to add some mixed berries which is great with the sweet and sharp flavors of the apples its compliments really well. its a quick recipe.

30 g margarine/ Butter
20 g Caster Sugar
1 Eating Apple
1 Cooking Apple
25g Muesli/ Oat flakes
Cinnamon - Optional

Method
  1. Peel and slice apples, sauté in pan, add some castor sugar and leave to cool. 
  2. Rub butter / margarine into flour to create a breadcrumb texture then add sugar, oat flakes / muesli and cinnamon. 
  3. Place apple in dish and the add crumbs. 
  4. Cook in a hot oven at 180’c / gas mark 4 for about 20 mins 
In the picture i have just lined a small Yorkshire pudding/tart mould with some sweet pastry and then blind bake for 7 minutes at 180/gas mark 4 than dded my ingredients topped with the crumble mix.  I then used a piping bag and piped out a design, added some berry jam and the custard sauce and dusted with icing sugar, a simple dish yet it looks like its complicated. Perfect for dinner parties!
