Let’s make it.

Heat oven to 180°C / 355°F. Place apples, fruit sugar, water and cinnamon in a small baking dish.
Rub butter into flour with fingertips until crumbly. Stir in topping sugar.
Scatter crumble loosely over apples; do not press down.
Bake about 30–35 minutes until golden and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.

A little kitchen note

Tart apples may need a little more sugar. Dish size and apple variety change baking time.
