Ingredients
- Lemon: zest and juice 1 lemon
- Plain Flour: 125g plain flour
- Unsalted Butter: 25g unsalted butter
- Raisin: 100g raisin
- Oats: 3 tbsp jumbo oats
- Flaked Almond: 25g flaked almond (or use other nuts if you like)
- Bramley Apple: 4 Bramley apples, about 800g, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm rings
- Mixed Spice: 1 tsp mixed spice
- Date: 100g pitted soft date, snipped into small pieces with scissors
- Light Muscovado Sugar: 85g light muscovado sugar
- Dark Rum: 3 tbsp dark rum (or use orange juice)
- Ice Cream: custard or ice cream, to serve
Directions
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put everything for the apple layer, except the lemon juice and apples, into a bowl and microwave on High for 1 1/2 mins until the butter has melted and the sugar is syrupy. Toss in the apples and lemon juice, then spoon into a medium baking dish, making sure the dried fruit is evenly distributed.
- Rub the flour and butter together, first into fine crumbs, then keep going until the mix forms bigger clumps, a bit like a rough biscuit dough. Stir in the sugar, oats and almonds. Scatter over the fruit, then cover with foil and bake for 1 hr, removing the foil for the final 30 mins, until golden and bubbling. Rest for 10 mins, then serve with custard or ice cream.
