Gluten-free apple and ginger crumble

Ingredients

• 6 Bramley apples, peeled and sliced
• preserved stem ginger, 3 balls, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• light brown sugar, soft, a sprinkling
• 100 g of light brown sugar, soft (or use caster if you prefer)
• 100 g of rice flour
• 50 g of porridge oats, gluten-free
• 50 g of almonds, toasted
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 100 g of unsalted butter, cold and diced

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4

2. 2

   Toss together the apple slices, stem ginger, ground ginger and sugar and pop it all in a heatproof dish

3. 3

   To make the crumble topping, simply chuck all the dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse to chop the nuts and oats up a bit. If you prefer a more rustic finish, skip this stage

4. 4

   Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until your mixture resembles breadcrumbs. You can add the butter to the processor and pulse to achieve the same results if you’re feeling lazy

5. 5

   Scatter the crumble topping over the fruit and bake for 35 – 40 minutes
