APPLE CRUMBLE

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 .
