Prep Time30 minsCook Time55 minsTotal Time1 hr 25 mins
For The Crumble:
 60 g flour
 50 g castor sugar
 25 g rolled oats
 5 ml ground cinnamon
 2.50 ml ground ginger
 50 g First Choice Butter, cubed and at room temperature
To Assemble:
 4 large Granny Smith apples
 50 g First Choice Butter, melted
 ground cinnamon, for dusting
 250 ml First Choice Vanilla Flavoured Custard
1

Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Lightly grease a 26cm x 18cm rectangular oven dish or any round dish big enough for eight apple halves.

2

Start by making the crumble. Place the flour, castor sugar, oats, cinnamon and ginger in a bowl. Mix well. Add the cubed butter and use your fingertips to rub everything together until the dry ingredients are coated with butter and the mixture starts sticking together in small clumps. Set aside.

3

Peel the apples and cut in half vertically. Use a melon baller (or a sharp knife) to carefully scoop out the core. Trim the top and bottom of the stem. Pop the apples in a bowl of water as you prepare them to prevent them from browning.

4

Gently toss the apple halves in the melted butter. Arrange the apples cut side up in the dish and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Spoon the crumble mixture onto the apples and flatten down slightly. Bake for 40 minutes.

5

Remove the dish from the oven and carefully transfer the apples to a plate. Pour the First Choice custard into the same dish. Arrange the apples in the custard and bake for a further 15 mins or until they are tender.

6

Serve immediately with additional custard if desired.
