Apple Crumble

Welcome the freshness of autumn with seasonal fruits and warming spices. While traditionally made as a dessert, fruit crumble can also be enjoyed as a breakfast alternative or as a delicious snack at any time of day.

Baking brings out the natural sweetness and full flavour of the fruit, while oats and cinnamon stabilise blood sugar levels and ginger helps reduce inflammation.[1]

Ingredients

Bunch of rhubarb

3-4 apples

1-2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp extra

2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup gluten free flour

1 cup dessicated coconut

2 Tablespoons coconut oil

1-2 Tablespoons rapadura or raw sugar or honey (optional, to taste)

Method

1. Cut fruit into small chunks and add to pie dish. Mix in cinnamon and ginger until
well combined and spread evenly over base of the dish.

2. Make crumble in a separate bowl by rubbing coconut oil into the flour, and
combine with coconut, oats, sweetener (if using), and additional cinnamon.

3. Sprinkle crumble to cover fruit and bake in a preheated oven (180°C) for 20-25
minutes or until lightly browned and fruit is cooked through.

4. Enjoy as is or serve with coconut or natural yoghurt.
