Step-by-step method
- 01
Heat the oven to 180°C. Peel and core apples, then cut into even pieces. Spread in a baking dish.
- 02
Mix flour, oats and sugar. Add diced cold butter and rub in with fingertips to form coarse crumbs.
- 03
Scatter crumbs over apples without pressing down. Bake for about 35 minutes until the top is golden and apples are tender.
- 04
Test an apple piece with a knife tip. If the topping browns too quickly, cover it and continue cooking; cool briefly before serving.

- Do not compress the crumbs. Firm apples may take longer; fruit tenderness, as well as topping colour, determines doneness.
