Easy Christmas crumble

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas 4.

Peel the apples, core and chop into bite-sized pieces. Place in a saucepan with the vanilla and a dash of water, then stew slightly over a medium heat until starting to soften.

For the topping, place the sugar, butter, ground almonds, flour, spices and salt in a food processor (or do it by hand) and mix until it starts to crumble, but is clumping together slightly.

Add the apples to an ovenproof dish and top with the lingonberries. Tip over the crumble. Scatter over the grated marzipan and flaked/ slivered almonds, then bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until crispy and the apple mixture has cooked through.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or custard.
