Put the golden caster sugar and 50ml water into a pan and cook over a low heat until it?s a chestnut caramel colour.

Peel, core and cut the apples into 4cm dice. Add to the caramel and stir over a high heat for 5 minutes. Put in a dish, season with black pepper and add the thyme. Stir, then set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°/gas 4. Make the crumble. In a bowl, rub the butter and flour together (you can do this in a food processor if you prefer). Add the semolina, almonds, zests and sugar. Fold in the pine nuts and a pinch of salt. Place the mix on a baking paper lined tray and cook in the oven for 35 ? 40 minutes, stirring halfway. Cool.

Warm the apple either in a pan or the microwave. Spoon into bowls, top with the crumble and serve with custard, if you like.
