Preheat your oven to 180 deg C
I use 1kg of green cooking apples ( pink lady straight from the tree )
Peel , core and slice into bite size pieces....keep in mind that fruit shrinks a bit when cooked .
Place the apple chunks in a saucepan over a low heat with a tbs of water , the juice of 1/2 orange and 50gm of sugar , also at this time of the year I add 2 skinned and deseeded blood plums ( we have them in abundance at this time of the season in Australia ).
Cover the saucepan and cook till they just begin to soften .
Taste and add more sugar if needed .
Pour the apples into the crumble dish ...leave them to cool while you prepare the crumble .
Mix together 60gm of almond meal, 30gm of ground flax meal, 20 gm of shredded coconut , 50 gm of softened butter /margarine and 50gm of Demerara sugar .
Mix with your fingers until the crumble looks like breadcrumbs .
Spread this over the cooled apples .
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes , until topping is cooked and golden and the fruit is pushing through the crumble
You can substitute the apple with rhubarb , stew the fruit with sugar ( taste to judge ) and do not add water , cook until half cooked and proceed as per recipe .
