Gluten- and dairy-free Apple Crumble

The weather has been surprisingly summery today so I thought I'd share a recipe to fit the day. When I originally made this apple crumble, I was using up all the ingredients that I had left - eating apples, self-raising flour, caster sugar - instead of the normal ingredients you might use - cooking apples, plain flour, soft brown sugar. If (like myself) cooking is something that is done in the spur of the moment and often with variations on the ingredients list, then this is the recipe for you!

Ingredients:

• 5 apples - peeled, chopped and core removed
• 230g caster sugar
• Teaspoon of cinnamon
• 170g plain flour (I use the Dove's Farm Gluten and Wheat free range)
• 100g butter (I use Vitalite or sunflower Pure)

Method:

1. Place the apple in a saucepan with about 180g of the caster sugar and the cinnamon. Gently heat for half an hour and keep stirring throughout.
2. Pour the apple mix into a dish you plan to serve the crumble in and leave to cool.
3. Gently rub the flour, remaining sugar and the butter together to create a breadcrumb-like mixture and pour over the apple mix. 
4. Lightly sprinkle sugar (brown sugar is best but any works) and a little cinnamon over the topping. 
5. Place in the oven at 150° for half an hour.
