DATE, BLUEBERRY, AND APPLE CRUMBLE

The secret to this topping is LSA: linseed, sunflower seeds, and almond.

SERVES: 6 TIME: 30 minutes

This is the perfect winter crumble, with crisp tartness from the winter apples and the vibrant colour of blueberries. The topping is slightly different as I’ve added some LSA (linseed, sunflower seeds, almonds). It adds nutrients and gives it an amazing nutty flavor. I serve this crumble with yoghurt, but go ahead and add some ice cream if you want.

INGREDIENTS: CRUMBLE MIX

2 cups oats

1 cup LSA

½ cup brown sugar

1 cup plain flour

1 cup dates

200g butter

½ cup shredded coconut

METHOD

1

Preheat oven to 170°C. Blitz all of the ingredients in a food processor until just combined. 2

Spread the mix out on a large baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Turn the mix over with a spatula or wooden spoon, and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes until crunchy and golden. Allow to cool.

INGREDIENTS: APPLE-BERRY MIX

3 cups chopped apples 2 cups frozen blueberries 2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp water

METHOD

Bring all the ingredients to a simmer in a large saucepan, then cook until soft, stirring occasionally.

To serve: put 2-3 big spoonfuls of the apple mix into six glasses (about 300ml capacity), then top with the same amount of the crumble mix and serve. Garnish with a dollop of yoghurt or ice cream.
