RECIPE:
Apple, Mincemeat and Blood Orange Crumble Recipe:
Ingredients:
8oz plain flour
4oz soft brown sugar
3oz butter, cubed
grated zest from 1 blood orange
juice from 2 blood oranges
1lb apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1lb mincemeat

Preheat oven to 165 ° C. Arrange apple slices in a baking dish and cover with the blood orange juice. Spoon the mincemeat over the apples. Make the crumble topping by mixing together the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the grated blood orange zest and mix. Spoon the crumble topping over the fruit mixture, spreading it out with a fork. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
