It truly doesn't get more classic, iconic or delicious than this.

1.8kg (about 12) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, quartered
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
3 tsp cornflour
Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Juice of 1 lemon

Cinnamon crumble

1 3/4 cups (260g) plain flour
200g unsalted butter, chopped
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
1/4 cup (55g) demerara sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 2L (8-cup), 30cm round ovenproof dish.
2.

For the crumble, place flour in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add baking powder, sugars, cinnamon and a pinch of salt, and stir to combine. Chill until required.
3.

To make the filling, combine apple, sugar, lemon zest and juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes or until apple is just tender. Combine cornflour in a bowl with 1 tbs hot water, then stir into apple mixture. Transfer to prepared dish and top with crumble.
4.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve hot with ice cream.
