Ingredients

• 4 dessert apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• 25g brown sugar
• 150g plain flour

3. Chop the bananas. Peel the mango, discarding large central stone, and cut the flesh into small chunks.
4. Mix together the stewed apple, banana and mango and layer in an ovenproof serving dish. Spread the crumble topping over the fruit.
5. Bake the crumble for 25 minutes until golden-brown. Serve warm from the oven with ice cream.
