I use pink lady apples, which is why this recipe calls for less sugar than others you may see (cooking apples are sour so require quite a lot of sugar whereas pink lady apples are fairly sweet). Feel free to use less or more sugar for the stewed apples - I tend to change it up a bit depending on who I'm sharing this with but I have found that 25g is a good starting point! The apples should be stored in the fridge, and the crumble should be stored in an airtight container. I'm not sure about expiry dates as the crumble is usually gone within 2 days, but if anyone does find out, please let me know!

Step 6

Add the butter, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and water to the apples. Cook on a medium heat for around 15 minutes, stirring every now and again. The apple cubes should be slightly soft but still firm, and when cut in half, they should be cooked all the way through.
