Apple crumble pie with cranberry & orange

THE RECIPE

Apple crumble pie with cranberry & orange

Tender apples under a crisp, buttery oat crumble. Tart cranberries and orange zest make the pie colourful and refreshingly autumnal.

Method

1. 1
   Prepare

   Butter a 24–26 cm pie dish. Peel, core and slice the apples.

2. 2
   Season

   Toss the apples with the sugar, starch and flavouring: 100 g cranberries, finely grated orange zest and 1 tbsp orange juice. Place them in the dish.

3. 3
   Make the crumble

   Rub the butter, flour, oats, sugar and salt into uneven crumbs. Do not overwork the mixture.

4. 4
   Cover

   Scatter the crumble loosely over the apples without pressing it down. Chill for 10 minutes if time allows.

5. 5
   Bake

   Bake in the centre of the oven until deeply golden and bubbling. Rest for 15–20 minutes.
