Banana Crumble

Ingredients

For the Banana filling:
6 bananas, peeled and chopped
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence

For the Crumble:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
125g margarine
1 egg

Directions

Preheat oven to 180oC

For the Crumble Base and Topping:
Cream the sugar and margarine.
Add the egg and mix.
Add sifted flour and baking powder.
Combine to form a ball of dough.
Separate out 1/4 of the dough, wrap with Glad Wrap and store in the freezer for roughly 30 minutes.
Butter a 1 1/2 litre capacity ovenproof dish and spread out the remaining 3/4s of the dough to form the crumble base.

Banana Mixture:
Add the bananas, sugar and vanilla essence together and gently heat in a saucepan until soft and gooey.
Let the mixture cool down and then spoon the filling over the crumble base.
Grate the frozen crumble dough over the banana filling.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crumble is golden.
Serve with ice cream, or custard.
