Directions
- 1To a bowl, add plain flour, oats, light brown sugar, and a few teaspoons of baking powder and mix it together.
- 2Grab some cold cubed butter and rub it together with your fingers and thumbs until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- 3Line a 21x21 pan with baking parchment. Crumple the baking parchment to make it easier to smush into the corners.
- 4Secure the parchment with metal bulldog clips. If you don't have any, steal some from the office.
- 5Put two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of the tin and press down really firmly.
- 6Prepare the fruit (apples and a rogue pear were used in the video) by peeling and chopping them finely.
- 7Add the chopped fruit to a bowl along with cinnamon, cornflour, sugar, and lemon juice. Give it a good stir.
- 8Top your base with all the fruit and sprinkle over the remaining crumble mix. Give it a little pat for good luck.
- 9Put it into a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 to 35 minutes.
- 10Turn the crumble bars onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 11When ready to eat, cut the crumble into squares.
- 12Keep these in a tub in the fridge, and they will keep for three to four days.
