apple & berry crumble
Serving suggestion: 4 people
Preparation time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients
Fruit base
4-5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced.
1 cup frozen or fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries work well)
4 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp corn flour
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Perfect, and simple crumble
1 cup rolled oats ( quick oats can be used as an alternative)
1 cup plain flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
Method
Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees.
Next, add your diced apple, lemon juice, caster sugar, water and corn flour all into a small saucepan and cook with a lid on medium low heat until only just tender (10 mins roughly). Remove from heat, then stir through your berries and place in a medium sized baking dish.
For the simple crumble, blend coconut oil, flour, baking powder and sugar quickly until you achieve a sandy texture. Then pour into a bowl and combine in the oats. Crumble this mixture on-top of the fruit, then bake in your oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden and crisp on top.
Serve this comforting dessert with your choice of ice cream for the ultimate home dessert experience.
