Apricot Crumble

Serves 4 Prep 10 min Cook 20 min

Ingredients

  • 450g/1lb fresh apricots, halved and stoned
  • 1 lemon, grated rind only
  • 75g/3oz light muscovado sugar
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 75g/3oz butter
  • 175g/6oz plain flour
  • 75g/3oz light muscovado sugar

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Place the apricots in a buttered 900ml/1½ pint pie dish and sprinkle over the lemon rind, muscovado sugar and cinnamon.
  2. For the crumble, rub the butter and flour together in a small bowl using fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle over the apricots.
  3. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crumble is golden. Serve with a dollop of Greek strained yogurt or fromage frais, if you wish.

Notes

For a crisper topping, use only half the flour and 75g/3oz fruit and nut muesli. If you are in a real hurry, prepare as above and microwave on 100% (full power) for about 10-12 minutes. Brown under the grill, if you like, before serving. Serve with a dollop of Greek strained yogurt or fromage frais, if you wish.
