For the Irresistible Nutty Topping:
- 50g/1¾oz plain flour

Method:
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. This ensures the perfection of your Nutty Apple Crumble.
- Apple Bliss: Peel, core, and slice the cooking apples thinly. In a flameproof casserole, combine the apple slices, lemon juice, light muscovado sugar, and six tablespoons of water. Bring to a gentle boil, then transfer to the oven and cook for about 20 minutes. The apples should be tender without losing their shape.
- Crunch Creation: In a mixing bowl, combine the dry topping ingredients – plain flour, porridge oats, light muscovado sugar, chopped walnuts, and sunflower seeds. Add the softened butter and rub it in until the mixture forms delightful, crumbly clusters.
- Bake to Gold: Spread this delectable topping evenly on a baking tray and bake for around 20 minutes. The goal is a glorious golden-brown crispiness that promises an irresistible bite.
- Crumble Confluence: Once your topping is golden and crisp, gently break it into clusters. Sprinkle this delightful topping over the hot, tender apple mixture.
