250g apples
75g lingonberry sauce
Juice and zest of ¼ small orange
2 tablespoons golden caster sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
100g plain flour
75g caster sugar
75g very cold butter, grated
Pinch of fine sea salt
Fresh vanilla custard, for serving

  1. Prep the apples: Preheat your oven to 190°C. Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin slices (about ½ cm thick). Place the slices in a large bowl and add lingonberry sauce, orange juice, orange zest, caster sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss everything together until the apples are well coated, then set aside.

  2. Make the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, grated butter, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to lightly mix the ingredients, coating the butter strands. Then, rub the mixture together with your hands until it forms a breadcrumb-like texture.

  3. Assemble and bake: Transfer the apple mixture to a OnePan 20 spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.

  4. Serve: Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Pair it with warm vanilla custard for a comforting holiday dessert.
