Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

750g cooking apples (Bramley's are best)
350g ripe plums
juice of 1 lemon
100g golden caster sugar
100g self-raising flour
1 tsp cinnamon
50g butter
50g golden caster sugar
1 egg , beaten
4 tbsp milk
50g/2oz walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional180C/gas 4. Butter a 1.5 litre ovenproof pie dish.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples. Halve, stone and quarter the plums. Put the apples in a pan with the lemon juice, sugar and 1 tbsp water. Bring to the boil, then cover and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the plums and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  • Turn the fruit into the prepared dish. Tip the flour and cinnamon into a bowl, add the butter, cut into small pieces and rub in with your fingertips. Stir in the sugar, then add the egg and milk and mix lightly to a soft batter (this can be done in the food processor).
  • Drop tablespoonsful of the batter over the fruit, leaving gaps where the fruit peers through, then scatter over the nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping has a crisp brown crust.
