You’ve had classic apple crumble but have you tried Nourishing Amelia’s seriously good Christmas crumble, made with apples, cranberries, raisins and cinnamon – and an oaty topping, of course! Created specially for The Oat Project.
For the filling
600g bramley apples
100g dried cranberries
150g raisins
80ml apple juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp maple syrup
For the crumble
120g Mornflake Jumbo Oats
80g ground almonds
3 tbsp melted coconut oil
4 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees celsius.
Start by making the mincemeat style filling. Add the dried cranberries, raisins, apple juice, cinnamon, mixed spice and vanilla extract to a saucepan over a medium heat. Gently simmer for around 10 minutes.
While this is cooking, peel the apples then chop into cube pieces, discarding the core. Place in a saucepan over a medium heat along with the maple syrup. Gently cook for 6-8 minutes or until the apple begins to soften.
Mix both the mincemeat style filling and cooked apple together then layer into the base of a baking dish.
To make the crumble, simply mix all the ingredients together well in a bowl. Layer this crumble mixture over the top of the fruit layer.
Place into the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
