Oaty apple and pear crumble 

Serves 4 

Preparation and cooking time: 45mins 

Ingredients 

  • 4 medium sized apples (Bramley cooking apples work best) , peeled, cored and chopped into chunks 
  • 4 pears, peeled, cored and chopped into chunks 
  • 100g/1 cup of oats 
  • 100g/1 cup of healthy granola. See our homemade granola recipe 
  • 1tbsp of raw cane sugar or low GI fruit sugar (optional – if you prefer tartness and a healthier crumble then don’t add sugar as the pears will provide some sweetness) 

Method 

Preheat the oven to 180C 

  • Cook the apples and pears with the sugar (if using sugar) in a large pan, stirring occasionally – add a splash of water if they start to stick on the bottom. When just about tender and a bit saucy tip into a large ovenproof dish. 
     
  • Spread the oats over the cooked apple and pear and top with the granola. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 20-30mins until the topping is golden and crisp. You can cover the top with some foil towards the end of the bake if it is burning. 

 
 
You can serve as it is or with an alternative to dairy cream such as oat cream. See our homemade dairy-free vanilla custard recipe for a good accompaniment.
