Notes
- Apples - pick whatever apples you like, I like doing a mixture of tart like granny smith and sweeter like red delicious.
- Lemon - if you don’t have fresh lemons, use 50ml of prepared lemon juice or water.
- If you like oats in your crumble, swap some of the flour for rolled oats, such as swapping 50g of flour for 50g - 100g of oats
- It will end up being very saucy so that’s why it needs to rest. The liquid will thicken as it cools down.
