Lord James Harrington and the Winter Mystery Quotes

“GRANDMA ALICE HARRINGTON’S APPLE CRUMBLE Makes 4-6 servings: For the filling: 2 lbs/1 kilo cooking apples 1 oz/30mg caster sugar Cinnamon powder Two cloves For the crumble: 6 oz/180g plain flour 3 oz/90g butter 2 oz/60g caster sugar 1 oz/30g demerara sugar 1. Peel, core and chop the apples. 2. Place them in an ovenproof dish, and sprinkle with the first ounce of sugar, some cinnamon power and cloves. 3. To make the crumble, sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the butter. Rub the flour and butter together with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. 4. Mix in the second amount of caster sugar. 5. Spread this mixture over the apples, and press down lightly. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and cinnamon powder. 6. Place the dish on a baking tray, so any filling that bubbles over doesn’t cause any mess. 7. Bake in the centre of a preheated oven (400ºF/200ºC - Gas Mark 6) for 50 minutes.”
