Ingredients
450g rhubarb, cut into 3cm slices
350g apples (Granny Smith work well), peeled and cut into 3cm chunks
1 vanilla pod, split open or 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
120g caster sugar
ice cream or custard, to serve
For the topping
200g plain flour
1 tsp ground ginger (optional)
100g cold salted butter, chopped
70g soft brown sugar
METHOD
Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C. Toss the rhubarb, apples, vanilla and sugar together in an ovenproof dish and roast for 10 mins.
Mix the flour and ginger, if using, together in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips to create a chunky breadcrumb textured mixture. Stir through the sugar. Sprinkle the crumble topping onto the fruit and cook for a further 30-35 mins or until the topping is lightly golden brown. Serve with ice cream and/or custard
