Ingredients

450g rhubarb , cut into 3cm slices

350g apples (Bramley or Granny Smith work well), peeled and cut into 3cm chunks

1 vanilla pod , split open or 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract

120g golden caster sugar

ice cream or custard, to serve

200g plain flour

1 tsp ground ginger (optional)

100g cold salted butter , chopped

70g light soft brown sugar

Method

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the rhubarb, apples, vanilla and sugar together in an ovenproof dish and roast for 10 mins.

Mix the flour and ginger, if using, together in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips to create a chunky breadcrumb textured mixture. Stir through the sugar. Sprinkle the crumble topping onto the fruit and cook for a further 30-35 mins or until the topping is lightly golden brown. Serve with ice cream or custard.
