Wendy hoped to watch her fellow Come Dine With Me contestants crumble before her with this apple, cinnamon and raisin creation

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp plain flour
  • 6 tbsp wholewheat flour
  • 3 tbsp quick oats
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tbsp well chilled butter, cut into small pieces

For the filling

  • 4 Cox’s apples, peeled, cored and chopped
  • Brown sugar mixed with cinnamon (to scatter over the apples before adding the crumble top)
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup mulled apple cider
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method: How to make apple, cinnamon and raisin crumble

1. Preheat oven to 190°C/Gas 5. To prepare the topping, in a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flour, whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Use your fingers to rub the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside.

2. In a 20cm square ovenproof dish, stir together the apples, raisins, sugar, apple juice and lemon juice. Pat the filling into an even layer. Scatter with brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the reserved topping over the apples and bake for 20 minutes.

3. Use a spatula or table knife to make cuts through the crumble all across the top, dispersing the juices into the topping. Bake for an additional 25 minutes, until nicely browned and bubbling. Place on a rack and let cool for about 15 minutes.

Please note this recipe is the contestant's own and has not been tested professionally. Like the Come Dine With Me contestants, you could be creating a culinary delight or dining disaster, so switch on your ovens and be bold
