Ingredients
540g
tin rhubarb in light syrup, we used Princes
700g
Bramley apples, peeled and cored
25g
caster sugar
25g
stem ginger, finely chopped
FOR THE COBBLER TOPPING
125g
unsalted butter, softened
100g
caster sugar
1tsp.
vanilla extract
1
medium egg
150g
self-raising flour
50g
honey nut cornflakes, crushed, we used Kellogg's Crunchy Nut
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Drain the rhubarb, reserving 150ml of the syrup. Thickly slice the apples and put into a medium pan. Sprinkle over the sugar and add the reserved syrup.
Step 2Bring to the boil over medium heat, then simmer gently for 10min, or until the apples are tender. Mix in the ginger and drained rhubarb. Empty into a 1.5 litre ovenproof serving dish.
Step 3For the cobbler topping, in a medium bowl using a handheld electric whisk, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Beat in the flour to make a smooth dough.
Step 4Empty the crushed honey nut cornflakes into a shallow bowl. With damp hands, shape the cobbler mixture into 12 balls. Roll the balls in the cornflakes, then arrange on top of the fruit in the dish.
Step 5Bake for 40min, or until golden. Serve with vanilla custard, if you like.
