Tick off what you already have at home.

  • Any supermarket

    Aisle: harinas. Maizena is a brand; 'harina fina de maíz' is the same thing.

  • Any supermarket

    Aisle: lácteos. Choose 'sin sal' or 'con sal' deliberately; both are widely sold.

To serve

Method

  1. 1

    Peel the apples, cut them into wedges and mix them in the greased slow cooker with the lemon juice, 2 tbsp sugar, cinnamon and cornflour.

  2. 2

    Rub the flour, oats, the rest of the sugar and the cold butter together with your fingertips into coarse crumbs. Scatter them evenly over the apples.

  3. 3

    Lay two layers of kitchen paper over the opening and put the lid on: that way the condensation won't drip onto your crumble.

  4. 4

    Cook for 2–2½ hours on HIGH or 3½–4 hours on LOW, until the apples are soft and the juices bubble at the edges.

  5. 5

    For a crunchier topping: leave the lid ajar for the last half hour. Serve warm with custard or ice cream.
