Cook: 40 minutes

Serves: 10-12

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Core and peel the apples, then finely slice either using a mandolin or food processor.
  • Grease the inside of a ceramic 24cm pie dish, then add the apples starting around the edge of the dish in a concertina slightly overlapping.
  • Pour over the lemon juice, then sprinkle evenly with sultanas.
  • In a food processor mix the semolina and both sugars and baking powder. Pulse a few times then add the beaten egg with a few more pulses.
  • Spread over the apples, sprinkle with cinnamon — as much as you prefer — according to your taste.
  • Roughly chop the pecans and sprinkle over the crumble with the flaked almonds.
  • Melt the butter or margarine and then drizzle over the topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
