- 0.5 tsp Grated nutmeg
- 150 g (5.3oz) Plain flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 85 g (3oz) Unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 600 g (21.2oz) Rhubarb, cut into 2.5cm/1in pieces
- 600 g (21.2oz) Rhubarb, cut into 2.5cm/1in pieces
- 1 orange - juice and grated zest
- 1 tbsp orange liqueur, e.g. Cointreau
- 2 Large Bramley apples, cored

- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F/Gas 4.
- Put the rhubarb, orange juice and zest, half the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange liqueur in a saucepan and bring gently to the boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 6-7 minutes.
- Cut the Bramley apples in half horizontally.
- Top each half with the rhubarb mixture, mounding it slightly.
- You will probably have a little left over.
- Make the crumble by sifting the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then lightly rub the butter into the mixture with your hands, until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Fold in the remaining sugar and almonds.
- Sprinkle it over the rhubarb and apple, pushing down gently to form a crumble top.
- Place the apple halves on a buttered baking tray and bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the apples are soft and the crumble is golden brown.
- Serve with custard or clotted cream.
