This wholesome apple crumble is the perfect way to enjoy a classic dessert with a healthy twist—comforting, fruity, and surprisingly light.
Ingredients
6 large, sweet dessert apples (approx. 800g) peeled and chopped
200g frozen mixed berries
1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of grated nutmeg
3 tbsp maple syrup
For the crumble topping:
75g porridge oats
75g walnuts, chopped
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted if solid
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Lightly spray a baking dish or pie dish (approx. 20 x 25cm/8 x 10in) with cooking spray.
2. Peel, core and cut the apples into 1.5cm/5/8in dice and place in a bowl with the berries, orange zest, cornflour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and maple syrup. Mix well and spoon into the prepared dish. Press down gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
3. To make the crumble topping, mix together the oats, nuts and cinnamon in a small bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir until fully combined. Crumble the topping over the fruit mixture to cover in an even layer.
4. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the topping is lightly golden. Leave to cool for 20–30 minutes before serving.
