For those of you that still have your crumble mixture to make,

30g of plain flour

20g of butter

17g of Demerara sugar

Rub in the flour and butter until you have a fine breadcrumb consistency. Add the sugar. Sprinkle this over your apple mixture and put in the oven at 180 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Enjoy.

Feel free to email any pictures of your crumble or you enjoying your crumble to slgw07maxwelllouise@glow.sch.uk

I was very impressed with the entries for the competition. Fingers crossed. Xx

As part of British Food Fortnight we made smoothies using a selection of fruit. We peeled, chopped and sliced a selection of fruit before popping it in the blender. Yummy!
