Method:
Peel, core and slice the apples and
place in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with 25 g/2 tbsp of the
sugar and add the clove, if using, and the water. Put the flour in a
bowl and rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles
fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the remaining sugar. Sprinkle over the
surface of the apples and press down lightly. Bake in a preheated oven
at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 for
40 minutes until the top is crisp and golden brown and the apples are
tender.
