Coconut and raspberry crumble

Method

1. Make sure the butter is cut into small cubes. Mix the flour and sugar together in a large bowl then add the cubes of butter.

2. You can start to rub the butter, flour and sugar between your palms. The aim is to combine them all so the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. It will take a minute or two. You should not see any chunks of butter when you are done.

3. Stir in the coconut and put the mixture to one side.

4. Heat your oven to 180°C.

5. You may need to get an adult to cut the apples or pears (whichever you prefer to use) and take the core out of the centre. Once this is done carefully peel and then slice or chop the pears or apples. The pieces should be about the size of lego bricks.

6. Find a dish that can go into a hot oven and one that the crumble ingredients will fit into. Lay half of the pear or apples into the dish and sprinkle on half of the raspberries. Sprinkle over the caster sugar. Add the rest of the apples or pears and the raspberries.

7. Sprinkle the crumble over the top so that all of the fruit is covered. Press it down lightly and sprinkle little more coconut on top.

8. Bake for about a half an hour. Ask a grown-up to push a butter knife into the centre to make sure the fruit are soft.

9. Leave it to cool for about 15 minutes before cutting.
