An oldie but a goodie, this would be one of our favourite desserts. Simple enough for a mid-week Dessert Night, but also fancy enough to serve if having visitors.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

1 bunch of rhubarb, cut into 3cm pieces

2 large granny smith apples, peeled and sliced thinly

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Crumble Topping 

100gm plain flour

100gm butter, cubed

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup oats

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.

Lightly grease a pie or gratin dish and place rhubarb and apple in the dish. Pour over the lemon juice and maple syrup and give everything a big mix.

To make the topping, rub the butter into the flour using your fingers until you have a chunky breadcrumb like consistency.

Stir in sugar, oats and cinnamon.

Sprinkle evenly over the top of the fruit and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.

Cool slightly and serve with custard, cream or ice-cream.
