Fruit Crumble (4-5 small dishes)
4oz/100g SR Flour
2oz/50g Margarine
1oz/25g Granulated Sugar
2 Medium cooking apples
Caster sugar to sweeten the fruit
Small foil dishes
If you are able to pick some blackberries with the children they can be added to the apple for a more tasty and colourful filling. (other fruit can be used such as peaches, raspberries etc)
To make the crumble, rub the margarine into the flour, the children will enjoy taking turns in doing this. Add the granulated sugar and stir until it is well mixed and then set to one side. Prepare the apples by peeling and cutting them into small pieces, letting the children help where appropriate. If using blackberries, wash thoroughly before adding to the apples. Fill each foil case ¾ full with the apple and blackberries and then sprinkle with a heaped teaspoonful of caster sugar. Cover the fruit with the crumble mix and press down gently. Cook at 180°C for 20 minutes or until crumble is golden brown.
Care should be taken when taking the dishes out of the oven as the fruit juice may bubble at the edges and become very hot.
