I love apple crumble so I had to put a Christmas twist on it and make an Apple and Cranberry Christmas Crumble with oat crumble topping. Adding cranberries makes the festive crumble extra special and perfect for a winter dessert.
Put the flour, oats and sugar in a bowl and mix together. Add the butter in and rub them together with your fingers and thumb to create a crumble texture. Set aside until you're ready to cook.
Peel and core the apples. Chop up the Bramley apples into small chunks and add to a sauce pan. Also add a tablespoons of lemon juice, 4 of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. On a low heat soften the apples. As they start to soften add the chunks of the eating apples.
When the apples have softened slightly but not falling apart take off the heat and stir in the cranberries. Allow it to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC fan.
Divide the apple and cranberry mix among the 8 oven proof dishes. If you want to save them to cook them later, leave the crumble part aside and just add when you're ready to cook.
Add the crumble topping and pop them in the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
