Preheat oven to 180°C (or 160°C fan-forced)
Stew peeled and quartered apples for 10-12 mins until soft but not mushy. Put aside to cool
In a pan place the water, sugar and lemon juice and when the sugar has dissolved add strawberries and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly soft. you don’t want them mushy just slightly soft. Set aside to cool.
While the apples and strawberries are cooling you can make the crumble topping - in a bowl combine sifted flour and cinnamon and then work in the butter with your fingertips, it should end up resembling lumpy breadcrumbs. Then add the brown sugar and mix well.
To assemble - place well drained apples in a large oven proof dish or pie plate.
Spoon the strawberries on top of the apples and then place crumble all over the top so it covers all apples and strawberries.
Bake in a moderate oven (180oC ) for 30 minutes and enjoy.
