Apple Streusel Flan


Here's a weekend bake for you and yes you can still get British grown Bramley apples for this even in June!

I'm just going to tell you about the filling, you'll need a blind baked 7" pastry flan case, whether you make it yourself from shortcrust pastry or use a bought one is up to you.

Filling:
1lb cooking apples
2ozs sultanas
2ozs caster sugar

Topping:
1oz plain flour
1/2oz butter
1/2 teaspoon mixed spices
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2oz demerara sugar

Your oven needs to be preheated to Gas mark 5, 190 degrees C, 375 degrees F

1.Peel and slice the apples and heat them gently in a saucepan with the sultanas and caster sugar stirring until they begin to break down.

2.Make the streusel crumb topping by mixing together the flour, cinnamon, and sugar taking a little butter at a time rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. 
 
3.Put the apple mixture into the pre-baked flan case and top with the streusel crumb topping.
 
4.Place on a baking tray and cook in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes until the crumb topping is golden and the apple mixture bubbling.
 
5.Enjoy!

  1. Hi, thank you so much for visiting rusty duck today... it's so nice to be able to find new blogs in return!
    And this is just the sort of food I am craving at the moment. As I write the rain is pouring down. It is cold, windy and feels more like October than June!
