Preparation time: 15 minutes  
Cooking time: 40 minutes 

Ingredients
50g butter 
3 tbsp sugar 
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
400g apples, peeled cored and sliced 

For the crumble topping 
80g butter 
175g plain flour
110g sugar
30g rolled oats 
30g ground almonds 
50g chopped pecans  

Method
Heat oven to 180C. 

Heat 50g of butter in a frying pan over medium heat until the butter has melted. Scatter in the sugar and cinnamon and add the apples and mix through the butter.  Cook until the sauce is sticky (the consistency of golden syrup) - around 5 minutes.  Put the apples into a baking dish and leave to cool while you do the next step. 

While the apples cool, make the topping. Rub together the flour and butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir through the rest of the crumble ingredients. 

Put the crumble mix on top of the apples and cook for 25-30 minutes until golden.
