Finish off the night on a high with Georgie Esdaile's delicious apple, brown butter and Frangelico crumble.

100g unsalted butter, chopped
2/3 cup (230g) golden syrup
1kg Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into large chunks
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
1/3 cup (80ml) Frangelico
1 tbs cornflour
Thickened cream, to serve

Crumble

1 2/3 cup (250g) plain flour
1/4 cup (25g) hazelnut meal
180g cold unsalted butter, chopped into 1cm pieces
1 tsp baking powder
100g caster sugar

Method

1.

For the crumble, place flour and hazelnut meal in a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until it resembles fine crumbs. Add baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt. Squeeze mixture together into some bigger pieces, then chill for 15 minutes or until required.
2.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place butter in a large ovenproof pan over high heat, stirring continuously until butter has melted and starts to turn a nutty brown. Add golden syrup and stir to combine. Add apple and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until sauce starts to thicken slightly. Stir in vanilla, Frangelico and cornflour. Scatter over the crumble.
3.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until crumble is golden. Drizzle with cream to serve.
