Method
To make the pastry
- Add the flour, salt and butter to the bowl. Attach the K beater and mix on a low speed until it resembles bread crumbs.
- With the machine still running slowly add the water until a dough forms. Remove from the bowl and wrap in clear film, leave to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll onto a floured surface. Line four small pastry dishes with the pastry and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
To make the filling
- Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, zest and juice of the lemon, plain flour and caster sugar. Attach the K beater and mix until combined, remove from the bowl and reserve.
- To make the crumble mix: Add the butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and wholemeal flour. Attach the K beater and mix on a medium speed until the mixture comes together, remove from the bowl and reserve.
To assemble the crumble
- Remove the pastry dishes from the fridge, slice the apples and divide between the dishes. Add the reserved filling mixture and top with the crumble mix.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until golden. Serve warm with a little cream
