I got this recipe out of a Recipes+ Magazine.....I also added extra brown sugar and cinnamon.

  5. 230g cold butter, chopped
  6. Iced water
  7. 3/4 cup rolled oats
  8. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  9. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to

  1. Place apples in a saucepan; add half the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon tap water, Cover; bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover, simmer, stirring often, until liquid evaporates. Cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 180*C/160* fan forced. Grease and line a 30 x 20 cm lamington pan with baking paper. Place flour, icing sugar and 200g butter in a food processor, pulse until crumbly. Add 3 tablespoons Iced water: pulse until mixture forms small clumps, add 1 more tablespoon if needed. Place 1/3 crumble mixture in a bowl; cover and chill, knead remaining mixture into a dough: press evenly in base of pan.
