Recipe and image supplied courtesy of Australian Macadamia Society

Ingredients

• 3 green apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ½ cup plain flour
• 3½ tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
• ⅓ cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar
• ½ cup macadamias, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place 4 (1 cup) ramekin dishes on an ovenproof tray.
3. Place the apples in a saucepan and pour over the lemon juice and ¼ cup of water.
4. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile place the flour, butter, sugar and macadamias in a bowl and rub with your fingertips until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble.
6. Divide the apples between the ramekins.
7. Spoon a heap of crumble over the top and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden.
8. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

Tip: If you don’t have ramekins, a medium-sized ovenproof dish works just as well.
