Start with the caramel sauce as you need it to cool down before using it . prepare all the ingredients ready and handy to use. Using a stainless steel pot ( this helps to see the color change in the caramel)
Tip all the sugar in and the water and start heating gently. Don't stir it very often and keep an eye on it so that you don't burn it. It will take about 5 mins. Take off the heat and add the butter and cream to it. Stir it in gently and leave on the side to cool.

Get the crumble started, Tip all the  in a bowl and assemble together so that it looks like bread crumbs. And set aside to prepare your apples.
Peel and core the apples and chop in 1 cm cubes. Get your baking dish . In it tip the apples alongside with the flour, juice sugar and cinnamon. stir it so that it is all evenly spread . pour over the caramel sauce and cover with the crumble.
