Lorraine answered a French boy's enquiry and went round to his house to help him out.
This recipe is only for a few people.
Here's what happened!
The ingredients required are as follows:-
1) Preheat the oven to gas Mark 4 or 180 degrees C, (350 degrees F).
2) First peel your Apples. If you like a bit of rough
then leave a little bit of the skin on! Whatever you do, put the bits
you have peeled into a dish of water and a little bit of lemon rind
so they don't turn really brown.
3) Then put the Apples in a saucepan with a bit of water and half of the
Demerara Sugar.
If you like a bit of spice then add some!
Cook gently with the lid on until a tiny bit soft.
4) Whilst that's doing, rub the fat into the flour using the
rubbing-in-method all schoolgirls learn while at secondary school
- until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Then mix in the rest of
the sugar, spice and mix well.
5) Pop the Apples in a casserole dish (put enough water to with these to moisten them but not so much as to drown them!) and sprinkle the crumble mixture carefully on top. DON'T press it down or try to flatten it out. Then put it in the oven.
6) Bake for 30-40 minutes until the Crumble is golden
brown.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle a little caster sugar over the top
and serve hot. Doesn't it look gorgeous!.
7) "A bit of custard, a bit of cream..." Shame to eat
it on its own so get down to making a bit of custard while its
cooking.
8) Wow it's ready at last and we're dying to eat it - would you like some?
