- Using a sharp knife, peel and core the apples, then slice. You do not have to remove the skin if you do not wish.
- Place the sliced apples into a saucepan full of water and heat gently until the apples are soft. Occasionally taste the water and add sugar to your liking as the apples can be quite bitter.
- Once the apples are soft, remove them from the water and place into an ovenproof dish. Let them cool down and sprinkle some sugar over the top.
- Place the 6 oz sugar, butter and the plain flour into a mixing bowl, then rub together using your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumb mixture on top of the apples.
- Bake at 200 C / Gas mark 6 for 30-40 minutes until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

This was a very simple and straightforward recipe that resulted in a very enjoyable desert. Certainly one to be tried again. One adjustment I made was at step three. Rather than sprinkle sugar on top of the apples, I drizzled two tabelspoons of maple syrup on them instead. - 13 Feb 2016
