Tropical Rum Crumble
From Ainsley’s Food We Love, ITV
A classic crumble with a tropical twist.
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180Cfan/Gas 6
Put the apple, pineapple, cinnamon and fruit juice in a saucepan or saute pan and cook over a low heat for 7-8 mins until the fruit starts to soften – add a little water if needed.
Remove from the heat and stir in the rum, banana and lime zest then spoon the fruit into a pie dish. Sprinkle over the ginger and set aside.
Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar, coconut and a good pinch of ground ginger. Spoon over the fruit and bake for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden.
Serve with custard and a grating of fresh nutmeg.
