Is there anything more comforting than an apple crumble? Billington's light brown soft sugar, apple and oats is a heavenly combination, especially when finished with a generous amount of ice cream or custard. We've paired this with a Billington's demerara caramel latte. The demerara gives it an extra caramelly depth that pairs beautifully with the sweet apples. We recommend using a fresh, crisp apple like Gala or Pink Lady.
Preheat the oven to 190°C / 170°C fan
For the filling, mix the apples, orange zest and juice, cinnamon and sugar. Tip into a 22 cm round dish or rectangular casserole baking dish
For the topping, mix together the flour, oats, a pinch of salt, light brown sugar and butter. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into flour until you have a bread crumb consistency. Squeeze handfuls of the crumble so it forms clusters
Sprinkle the crumble on top of the apple mixture then sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the crumble is golden and apples are cooked through. This is best served hot alongside ice cream or custard
For each coffee, mix the caramel, demerara, espresso, and cream together in a mug. Top with the hot milk. Finish with whipped cream and more caramel if you like
