Apple and Blueberry Crumble

Nothing screams Sunday more than a fruity crumble for dessert! This recipe is 100% vegan and gluten free (can also be made nut free too), a simple yet perfect, allergen friendly classic.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 200g gluten free oats (oats are naturally gluten free, but manufacturing methods can lead to cross contamination, so it’s safest to buy specified gluten free oats)

• 30g gluten free plain flour

• 65g soft brown sugar

• 50g chopped walnuts

• 65g golden syrup

• 65g butter (melted)

• 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 3 apples - cored, peeled and chopped (Pink Lady’s are my favourite!)

• 180g blueberries

• Pinch of salt

Method

• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (fan)

• Lightly grease the baking pan

• Mix the apples, blueberries, granulated sugar and cinnamon, then place into the baking pan

• Using a whisk on the lowest setting, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, walnuts, melted butter, golden syrup and salt until the ingredients are well blended

• Cover the fruit mixture with the topping

• Bake for 40-45 minutes (when the crumble is ready the top will turn brown and the fruit will bubble)

• Serve with some vegan (ice) cream and enjoy!

*Depending on how thick you’d like the top layer, you may be left with some excess crumble topping. I used this to make some granola cups topped with vegan chocolate spread - simply bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 170 degrees and top with whatever you fancy!
