Ingredients

For the fruit filling

  • 1 apple
  • 250 g gooseberries
  • 0.25 lemon juice only
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

For the crumble top

  • 50 g butter
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 25 g granulated sugar
  • 75 g rolled oats

Instructions

  • Cut any stalks off of the gooseberries and place them straight into a pan whole along with the lemon, sugar and apple (cored, peeled and cubed into pieces roughly 1cm in size.)
  • On a medium to low heat let the fruits stew down in a splash of water.
  • Once the fruit has burst and the apple has become soft, transfer into an oven dish or suitable ramekins. (If serving later place these to one side and add the crumble mix just seconds before heating.)
  • To make the crumble topping place the fat and flour into a food processor and pulse until you have fine bread crumbs.
  • Stir through the oats and sugar once this stage is complete to ensure they stay whole (this will mean the topping is extra crispy!)
  • Alternatively, rub the fat through the flour using your finger tips until you have fine bread crumbs then stir through the oats and sugar.
  • Place into two ramekins and spoon over a generous helping of the crumble mix then place into an oven at gas 6 for 15mins or until the dish is hot through and the topping crispy!
  • Serve with your choice of custard/cream/yogurt!
