In a bowl, mix the flour with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add grated or sliced butter and knead, making the crumble. Grease the baking pan with butter. Core the apples and peel if necessary, slice, splash with lemon juice, stir, place in the baking pan. Zest the lemon and mix the zest with 2 tablespoons of sugar, sprinkle over the apples.
