Apple and blueberry crumble

Dessert for breakfast is as legit as cereal for dinner. Our breakfast crumble version is not too sweet, using coconut sugar, which adds a caramel note and is less refined. No sugar slumps, here.

Ingredients

  • 3 large green apples, cored, peeled and chopped
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 30 g butter
  • 150 g fresh blueberries
  • 40 g (¼ cup) coconut sugar (see Note)
Crumble
  • 60 g (⅓ cup) coconut sugar (see Note)
  • 75 g  (½ cup) plain flour
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 60 g butter, chopped
  • 30 g (⅓ cup) traditional rolled oats
  • 60 g (½ cup) walnut pieces, chopped
  • coconut or Greek yoghurt, to serve

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Grease a 2 litre shallow pie dish or similar ovenproof dish.

Toss chopped apples in lemon juice. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add apples and stir until slightly softened, about 3­–4 minutes. Stir in blueberries and coconut sugar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Cover saucepan and allow to stand while making the crumble.

To make the crumble, place the coconut sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a food processor. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles course breadcrumbs. Or you can rub butter through flour mixture using fingertips.

Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in oats and walnuts, mix well.

Spoon apple and blueberries into pie dish. Sprinkle crumble mix evenly over filling. Bake in for 40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with yoghurt.

Note

• Coconut sugar can be substituted with soft brown sugar.
