Apple and Berry Crumble
Serves : 6
6 Pink Lady apples, skin on and cut into wedges
1 Tablespoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon orange zest, finely grated
1 Tablespoon water
400g frozen or fresh mixed berries
Crumble Topping:
1 cup plain flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup hazelnut meal
1 teaspoon mixed spice

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Lightly grease a CorningWare French White 1.4L Oval Casserole.
2. Place apples, sugar, cinnamon, orange zest and water in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes then add the berries. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, then transfer the mixture into the casserole dish and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine flour, sugar, hazelnut meal and mixed spice in a large bowl. With clean hands, rub the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
