Ingredients:

  • 1 kg Bramley apples (or a mix of Bramley and Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 25g unsalted butter, diced
  • 175g all-purpose flour

  • 75g light brown sugar
  • 50g rolled oats

Instructions:

  1. Combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, water, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat. Dot with diced butter.
  2. Combine flour, cold butter, brown sugar, oats, and salt in a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Chill for 15 minutes.
