## Ingredients

- 200 g oats
- 200 g plain flour
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 180 g cold cubed butter
- 400 g fruit (apples, pears, berries)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 50 g sugar
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- cinnamon

## Instructions

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