Method: How to cook mulled apple crumble with vanilla crème fraiche

1. Heat oven to 180C. Place the apples, sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon, zest, juice, alcohol and three tablespoons of water in a large pan.

Tip

Portion size: Per serving, this recipe provides the following from your food group allowance:

  • 1 portion of fruit and vegetables
  • 5 portions of 'extras'

If you decide to have the vanilla crème fraiche with this dish, you will need to take one of your 'extra' allowances from another day so that you have four on that particular day.

2. Stir gently over a low heat until the sugar has melted and the apples begin to break down. Pour into a two-litre pie dish and leave to cool a little while you make the topping.

3. Place the wholemeal flour and butter in a mixing bowl and rub together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and oats and mix through.

4. Sprinkle over the apples, pressing down if necessary. Bake in the oven for 25 mins or until golden and crisp.

5. For the vanilla crème fraiche, mix all the ingredients together. Serve dolloped on top of the crumble.
