Ingredients

550g plums, quartered and stoned

4 tbsp apple juice

1 tbsp granulated sugar

125g plain flour

65g butter, chilled

65g caster sugar (or demerara sugar)

Custard, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Put the plums, apple juice and granulated sugar in a pan, cover and cook gently for 10 minutes or until the plums start to soften. Tip into an ovenproof dish.
2
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs (or you could do this in a processor). Stir in the sugar.
3
Sprinkle the crumble on the plums. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve with custard.
