Apple & Oat Crumble

12 / 12 / 15

Yesterday we had our every year kale dinner which is a tradition my parents have together with some friends. There we eat a delicious kale stew with potatoes and sausages.  The previous day I found this awsome looking apple & oat crumble recipe on pinterest from a blog called mattersofthebelly and thought this would work perfectly as a desert for our dinner. I love this recipe so much because  it´s super yummy, healthy and it couln´t be easier to make. Because it is made with such wholesome ingredience, it´s also an option for breakfast. Top it with yoghurt for breakfast and vanilla ice cream for desert, and you are in apple crumble heaven.

  Ingredients

• FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING:
• - 100g (1 cup) rolled oats, divided
• - 30g (2tbsp.) brown sugar 
• - ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
• - ¼ tsp. ground ginger
• - ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
• - ¼ tsp. salt
• - 40g butter, cubed and cold
• - 60g (1/2 cup) pecans or walnuts or almonds, roughly chopped

1. Preheat oven to 180 C (350F)
2. Make the crumble: in a food processor or blender, blend half the oats into flour. Combine the oat flour with the rest of the oats, the sugar, spices and salt in a bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and use ypur hands to rub the butter into the mixture until the mixture is crumbly with small clumps. Mix through the chopped nuts. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge while you prepare the apples.
3. Butter a baking dish or pie dish (the one I used is 22cm x 15cm and 5cm deep/ 9”x6” and 2” deep) and set aside.
4. Peel, core and chop your apples, place them in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, sugar and spices and mix well. Then place the apple misture in the baking dish.
5. Take the crumble mixture out of the fridge and spread it evenly onto the apple mixture. Bake the apple crumble for 45-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apples are sizzling and bubbling. Serve warm with some yoghurt, creme fraiche, custard or ice cream.
