Method

1 Peel, core and roughly chop the apples or pears. Combine the fruit with the mincemeat, zest and juice of the orange and mix well. Spoon into a 1-litre oven-proof dish.

2 Combine the flour, walnuts, sugar and butter and process or rub with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Scatter the crumble mixture over the mincemeat and bake in a preheated oven, 200ºC (400ºF) gas mark 6 for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Serve with oodles of cream or top-quality vanilla ice cream.
