1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190 C (or 170 C for fan ovens).
2. 2

   Peel and core green apples , and blend them lightly in a food processor so it's still a bit chunky, don't go too smooth. Place in a 23cm round or 20cm square baking dish at least 5cm deep. Flatten with a spoon to prevent too much crumble from falling through.
3. 3

   In another bowl, combine plain flour , demerara sugar , and a pinch of salt . You can optionally add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the mixture.
4. 4

   Add cold butter , sliced into tiny pieces, and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles moist breadcrumbs. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor until sandy (do not over-process).
5. 5

   Pour the crumble mixture over the apples, forming a pile in the center. Use a fork to even it out.
6. 6

   Gently press the surface with the back of the fork to help the crumble hold together and crisp up. Lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish.
7. 7

   Place the dish on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes , or until the top is golden and the apples are soft when tested with a small, sharp knife.
