Stilton Fruit And Nut Crumble Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, mix the apples with the lemon juice, cinnamon, 1 tbsp of flour, 15g of butter and 1 tbsp of brown sugar. Place in a small glass baking dish, cover with cling film and cook in the microwave for 5 mins at 600W, or slightly less time if you have a higher wattage.
• Meanwhile, rub the remaining flour, butter, sugar, oats and nuts with your fingers to a crumble-like but chunky texture.
• Spoon the cooked apples into an ovenproof dish. Scatter over the crumble and bake in the oven for 20 mins until crisp. Serve with ice cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas Mark 4.
• Place the fruit in a deep ovenproof dish and sprinkle with sugar to taste.
• Place remaining ingredients in a food processor and process briefly until mixture resembles fresh breadcrumbs.
• Pour most of the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit and press down gently. Sprinkle the remaining crumble evenly over the top and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Butter both slices of the bloomer. Make into a sandwich with the stilton, spring onion and cranberry jelly, keeping the butter on the outside of the bread. Fry in a non-stick griddle or frying pan for 3-4 mins on each side. Keep the heat gentle so the cheese melts slowly as the bread becomes golden and crunchy. Serve warm.

Steps:

• To assemble: Overlap leaves around outside edge of round serving platter. Place cheese in the middle and cluster fruits and nuts decoratively around the cheese. Serve with crackers.
