·        
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Combine apple, lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until apples are just tender. Transfer to a 6cm-deep, 6 cup-capacity ovenproof dish.

Step 2
Make basic crumble topping: Using your fingertips, rub ingredients together in a bowl until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3
Sprinkle over apple. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Serve with cream, custard or ice-cream.
