Ingredients

• 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 lemon, with zest
• 1 tbsp Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli oil
• Crumble
• 180 g all-purpose flour
• 120 g salted butter (room temperature), chopped
• 60 g demerara sugar
• Salt, to taste
• Peanut butter-Chilli Sauce
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 2 tbsp Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. 2

   Place the chopped apples into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 100g of the sugar and a few fine gratings of lemon zest add the Marion’s Kitchen Crispy chilli oil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the apples have softened slightly. Remove from the heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Then set aside to cool.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and flour. Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it forms coarse breadcrumbs. Add the remaining 50g sugar, a pinch of salt. Mix gently to create a textured crumble topping.

4. 4

   Transfer the cooked apples to a 25cm x 30cm baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.

5. 5

   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the apple mixture is bubbling around the edges.

6. 6

   For the sauce, place the peanut butter, honey, and Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil, water and cream together. Stir until the sauce reaches your desired drizzle consistency.

7. 7

   To serve, spoon the warm apple crumble into bowls, add a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, and finish with a generous drizzle of the peanut butter–chilli sauce and sprinkle of salt.
