Hack's Apple Crumble

Recipe By Lynton Tapp

Ingredients

  • 8 large granny smith apples

  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 cup of orange juice

  • 1 packet of crunchy ANZAC biscuits

  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter

  • sea salt to taste

  • vanilla ice cream, to serve

Method

  • Preheat an oven to 180 degrees (C) fan forced.

  • Start by prepping the apples. This can be done to your liking however, I prefer to peel mine and cut into cheeks. Once you have cut your apples it is best to keep them in cold water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice while you prepare further.

  • To a large pan, add the butter and brown sugar. Heat this mixture until the butter has melted and the sugar begins to dissolve. Drain and add the apples to this butter mixture, completely coat the apples in this mixture and cook for 2-3 minute or until the apples begin to soften and a little caramel begins to form on them.

  • Add the orange juice and simmer for 5 minutes or until the apples are just tender.

  • Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, add your ANZAC biscuits and crush into a fine crumb, add the melted butter to the ANZAC crumb and mix until thoroughly combined.

  • Remove the pan of apples from the heat and evenly spread the ANZAC mixture over the top of the apples until completely covered.

  • Place the pan into the oven and cook for ten minutes or until the crumb begins to golden (further) and the apples are cooked through.

  • Serve with vanilla ice cream.
