Plum and apple almond crumble

Preparation: 20 minutes Cooking: 30 minutes Serves: 6

3 granny smith apples

cup caster sugar 850g tin black doris plums, drained cup plain flour cup ground almonds 100g butter, chopped

cup sliced almonds Vanilla bean icecream or softly whipped cream to serve

Preheat the oven to 180C. Peel and halve the apples and chop into roughly 3cm pieces.

Put cup sugar in a wide deep frying pan with 3 tablespoons of water.

Heat over a medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and add the apples. Cook for 5 minutes until just soft and most of the water is gone. Put the apples into a 16cm x 22cm baking dish.

Break the plums in half with your hands and gently remove the stones, then dot them into the dish with apples. Put the flour, ground almonds and butter into a food processor and whiz until forming clumps.

Add half of the sliced almonds and pulse to combine.

Crumble the mixture on top of the fruit, squishing into clumps with your fingers as you go. Sprinkle with the remaining sliced almonds and bake for 30 minutes until the crumble topping is golden.

Rest for 5 minutes before serving with vanilla bean icecream or softly whipped cream.
