start by preheating oven to 180° /375°F/Gas 5

prepare apples, core, peel and chop the apples into chunky pieces (don't cut too small)

place into a shallow baking dish around 9 x 7 inches

if using cinnamon, mix it with the 2 Tbsp of brown sugar and sprinkle it over the apples and put to one side

in a mixing bowl, add the flour,and the brown sugar . cut the butter into cubes and add it to the mixture

rub the butter into the dry ingredients,and do so until you have a coarse mixture.

sprinkle a good later over the apples,, try to work on depth half that of the apples, too thick, and the apples won't cook.

put in the preheated oven and bake until golden around 30 - 45 mins.

remove and let it stand for 5-10 mins and then enjoy!

best with vanilla ice cream (;
