Ingredients

  • 300g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 3cm lengths, thicker stalks halved lengthways
  • 3 small eating apples (about 450g), peeled, cored and sliced
  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 275g plain flour
  • 100g ground almonds
  • 1 x 250g pack unsalted butter, diced and frozen for 30 minutes
  • icing sugar for dusting

Step by step

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Toss the rhubarb and apples with 75g sugar in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Place the flour, ground almonds and the remaining 125g caster sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly to combine. Add the butter and whiz the mixture to crumbs (it's very important that the butter is cold otherwise it will cream into a dough). Press half the mixture into the base of a lightly buttered loose-bottomed, 20cm cake tin that is at least 7cm deep.
  3. Spoon the fruit over the base. Tip the crumble mixture on top and level, it will come to the top of the tin but sink as it cooks. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes until the top is golden and crisp and the juices are bubbling at the sides. Remove and run a knife around the top, and allow it to cool. Serve warm or cold, liberally dusted with icing sugar.
