Ingredients:

  • 5 large red apples
  • 100 grams of fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 cup of cloudy apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons of flaked almonds
  • 200 grams of rolled oats
  • 50 grams of whole almonds
  • 4 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
  • 2 cloves

Optional Extras:

  • Replace the oats with your favourite gluten-free muesli if you are gluten intolerant
  • Maple or agave syrup can be used instead of the honey
  • Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh ones
  • Serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt

Method:

  • Remove the core from the apples and cut into medium-sized cubes.
  • Place the apples into saucepan along with the blueberries, apple juice, cloves and half a teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Simmer on low heat for 25 minutes or until the apples begin to break down and soften. Stir often to ensure the apples aren’t sticking to the sides or bottom of the pan. If the mixture is becoming too dry, add a little water or more apple juice if necessary.
  • While the apples are cooking, blend the oats, honey, whole almonds, coconut oil, and half a teaspoon of cinnamon in a blender until combined.
  • After 25 minutes remove the apple mixture from heat and place into several small baking dishes or one large baking dish.
  • Cover with a crumble mixture and place in a preheated oven and cook 180 C for 20 minutes.Healthy Baking
