Before you start

Don’t waste it Leave the skins on the apples for extra fibre and to reduce waste – just give the apples a good wash before chopping.

Scale it up This recipe doubles up easily to serve 4 but you may need to use two dishes or even individual pots, depending on the size of your air fryer drawer. You could make double the cooked apple mixture in step 1, then freeze the rest for up to 3 months and defrost to make an even speedier air-fryer crumble.

Ingredients

  • 2 bramley apples (about 700g), peeled, cored and cut into eighths – see Don’t Waste It (above)
  • 30g demerara sugar, plus 2 tbsp
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • Finely grated zest and juice ½ lemon
  • 50g unsalted butter, chilled and chopped
  • 100g plain flour
  • 20g tahini
  • 10g sesame seeds (a mixture of black and white), plus an extra sprinkle to serve
  • Cream, custard or ice cream to serve

Method

  1. Put the apples, 2 tbsp sugar, half the cinnamon, the ginger, lemon zest and juice, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp water in a pan over a medium heat. Cover with a lid and cook for 6-12 minutes until the apples are as soft as you want them to be – either soft with a little fluffy sauce around them but keeping some shape, or completely collapsed into a purée.
  2. Meanwhile, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles chunky breadcrumbs. Stir in the 30g sugar, the remaining cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then the tahini and sesame seeds.
  3. Heat the air fryer to 180°C. Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish that will fit inside your air fryer (or several – see Scale It Up, above). Top with the crumble mix, then cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve with cream, custard or ice cream and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
