2 medium jucy lemons(for apples)

4 tablespoon brown suger

3 table spoon while suger

2-3 table spoon good honey

Half a large Orange(zest and juice)

2 tablespoon cinnamon

3 cloves Quater tspn grinded blckpepper or nutmeg or ginger

3 tablespoon icing suger for decoration

Serve with Whippd crm dullops or less sugry ice crm.(if desired)

Set up Ingredients,tools and measure out most of the measurements to prepare (can be seen here)

Peel,wash and lemon the mini apple.try have coverage of thel so toss around so all coated with some lemon juice.try not to drench them in lemon juice becoz they may get too sour.leave aside for later use

Work on your crumble:add the 3 types of flour in your mixing bowl and rest of ingredients including butter,suger,very little water..in then crumble out the oats first then do with the rest of mixture so that butter and flour are all well combined.you can start seing mixture formation to a good crumble

Do a qwik crumble test!thats it if youcan get some molding/holding together shape with your hand its gr8!check amount of butter you can increase according to how crumbling is going.(eg..if too dry and not forming holding together add few grams more.not overdo it as well)

Cover your bowl.place in fridge half hour or more while you work with the previosly peeled and lemoned apples.

Chop the apples into small cubes.and place into your pan that you prepared the ingredients.start heating up your apples in low medium heat until suger melts and then increase to medium heat until some liquids can be seen.here you can stir and taste a cube or two for spices and suger.increase as necesary

I added 3 more table spoon of brown suger,some blackpepper and few squizes of orange juice.

Cover your pan preferably with glass cover so you can see inside…but you may use other if dont hav glass pan covers.so the mixture may boil due to more liquids forming.its ok but try keep heat under control not to over boil…then the mixture will reduce and caramelise slightly.try leave minimum juice (enof to keep the apple crumble moist while baking in the oven)

Cover andLeave aside while you take your bowl of crumble mix out of fridge…it may look like in the pic…mix it up again brieflyyou can use fork to do this so avoid too much hand handling as heat can reduce crumbling effect(i think!)

Now to your oven friendly dish you can use one which will be easier to scoop out portions after being cooked..here used was an oval glass dish you may use any shape dish you have.put in your apple mixture and flatten down and along edges.then here i added some little sprinkle around of ginger powder and leveled it so its not concentrated (for a surprise kick maybe?)

Add topping on the apple mix trying to get evenly distribution all around the surface and corners and edges.put in oven preferbly medium high until browning of surface occurs.if you will be sreving with whipp cream thits perfect timing to prep it and fridge it.

Remove from oven use your oven gloves.it may look like the pic.then cover and place in fridge so make it easy to portion and decorate (if preferred) after.Alhamdulillah its done !can enjoy with whip cream or little bit of ice cream

Here is another style of crumble..one in remekin dish..(it had kind off more sauce to it…)
