Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Spread all the ingredients for the crumble (except for the egg whites) on a baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. When toasted, remove from the oven, cool slightly, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Turn the oven down to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Lightly whisk 2 egg whites with a fork until frothy, then fold just enough white into the crumble to bind it together.
  3. Put the crumble back into the oven for 10 minutes to dry the egg whites and create crunchy bite-size pieces.
  4. Put all ingredients for the brambles (except the whisky) in an ovenproof dish and bake for 5-10 minutes until the brambles are softened but still keep their shape. Drizzle the brambles with a good splash of whisky when they come out of the oven.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble over the top of the brambles and serve with vanilla ice cream.
