Ingredients

• 6 large Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and chopped
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup custard powder
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ¾ cup butter
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup shredded coconut

Steps

1. Place apples in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain, and cool. Place in a large bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoons sugar to evenly coat.
2. In a large bowl, whip together the 1/2 cup butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Mix in the egg. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, and custard powder. Mix dry ingredients into the bowl with butter and sugar. Press crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Drain apples and place into the crust. Cut together 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup butter, 1 1/4 cups flour, and cinnamon. Mix in coconut and oats. Sprinkle over the apples.
5. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove sides from pan and allow crumble to cool before serving.
