Ingredients
8 large apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp 5-spice powder
¼ tsp sea salt
vanilla ice cream, to serve
Crumble:
100g butter (about 8 tablespoons)
1 cup plain flour
¼ cup roughly chopped almonds
2 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/356°F.
STEP 2
In a large baking dish, combine the fruit, ginger, sugar, 5-spice and salt. Cover with foil place on a baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes.
STEP 3
In the meantime, make the crumble. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. In a large bowl, place the flour, almonds, vanilla and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix until combined and ‘lumpy’ like wet sand.
STEP 4
Remove the baking dish from the oven and uncover. Use a wooden spoon to push fruit down a little. Scatter the crumble topping over the fruit. Bake for another 30 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden.
STEP 5
Cool for 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice-cream.
