a combination of rhubarb and freshly picked royal galas from the tree made a warming treat for a mild morning on the Upper Lachlan Shire of N.S.W

 

 6 Royal gala apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges.
 3 sticks of rhubarb cut in to 3cm pieces.
 220 g brown sugar
 2 tablespoons, fine white sugar
 250g flour, plain
 100g butter, chilled and diced

 How to make:

1. Place the apple pieces in a saucepan with a little water and cook until tender.
2. Place the rhubarb in an ovenproof dish, add the white sugar and cover with water. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until rhubarb is tender.
3. In the meantime, combine the flour, brown sugar and rub the diced butter through with your fingers until you have a consistency that resembles breadcrumbs.
4. Place the apples and rhubarb with their juices into a greased ovenproof dish and cover with the crumble mix. Cook for 40 minutes or until the crumble is golden in colour.
