Apples are great for making into pies, cakes and crumbles. An easy apple crumble is to simply pare, core chop up 3 big apples and cook these over low heat along with 2 tbsps of sugar and a dash of lemon juice. When the apples soften, remove from heat and layer them in an ovenproof dish.

Cover the apple layer with a crumble made by crushing 8-10 digestive biscuits, 2 tbsps of salted butter and probably, a little brown sugar. Bake at 150 degrees for 8-10 minutes and voila, yummy apple crumble!
