• 1

  Preheat the oven to 200°C

  Assemble the mixer with the glass bowl and scraper beater. Add the flour, icing sugar, ground almond and butter to the bowl. Slowly turn the mixer to FOLDING/KNEADING setting and mix until it resembles a sand-like texture.

  Add the egg yolk and gradually add the ice water (if needed) until a dough forms.

  Take the dough out of the bowl and put it on a clean surface. Shape into a disc. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  To make the crumble, place the sugar, almonds, cinnamon, oats and butter in a food processor and pulse until the mixture starts to combine. Put aside.

• 6

  To make the filling, toss the rhubarb in the sugar and set it aside.

  Roll the dough between sheets of baking paper to form a 35cm round. Remove the top sheet of paper and transfer (on the paper) to a baking tray. Scatter half of the crumble mixture over the centre of the dough round. Top with the apple and rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with remaining crumble mix.

  Bring the edges of the dough up over the filling, leaving the top open. Brush the dough with the egg white and sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
