- Sieve the flour and put it into a bowl.

- The coarser the crumb, the crumblier the crumble.
- Mix in 50g of the demerara sugar and a pinch of salt with your hands, then set aside.
- Peel, core and slice the apples, and pop the pieces into another bowl.
- Add the cranberries, orange zest and juice, the spices and the remaining demerara sugar.
