Using oats in Liz’s apple crumble, instead of flour is a healther alternative to the traditional version. Not to mention its a very fast, easy and tasty dessert served hot straight out of the oven, or cold from the fridge.
Ingredients
- 4 very large cooking apples (or other fruit)
- 1/2 cup seeded raisons (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- sugar to taste
For the Crumble
- 1 cup Margarine or softened Butter
- 1 cup light brown cane or demerara sugar
- 2 cups of oats
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnimon
- Peel, core, quarter and slice the apples
- Add to a pan containing 1″ cold water
- Cover with a lid and heat until apples get soft
- Meanwhile, make the crumble by mixing the sugar, cinnimon and butter with the back of a large spoon
- Sprinkle on the oats and mix in well – Mixture should remain tacky
- When the apples are soft, drain the juice and chill for a tasty apple drink
- Place the drained apples into an oven proof dish, top with extra sugar if needed, and pat level
- Add the crumble, make level then with a spoon make peaks and craters
- Bake in pre-heated oven at 200C for about 15minutes until crumble browns and crisps slighty
