Tart Bramley apples in a sweet, syrupy sauce with a crunchy textured topping - there's not that much to dislike about this caramel apple crumble recipe. Cheap and easy to make, this delicious dessert contains healthy ingredients too like apples, lemons, ground cinnamon and porridge oats. Plus you can even add a handful of dried fruit in if you wanted to mix things up a bit. Allow to cool for a few minutes out of the oven, then serve with thick vanilla custard or ice cream.
