Peel, core and quarter each apple. We are pouring them directly into a 24cm BRA Infinity pan . Once ready, add the sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, lemon juice and a splash of liquor, stir well and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat.
Meanwhile we prepare the crumble, in a bowl we have the flour and add the rest of the ingredients except the butter that we will have in the fridge. Stir and add the cold butter in cubes. We are pinching the cubes of butter with the tips of our fingers to gradually integrate the flour with the butter, we have to obtain a kind of earth, once the butter is fully integrated with the flour, we pour it over the apple.
