Blueberry and Apple Almond Crumble

I love this easy quick recipe. It great if you want a little treat after dinner but don’t have heaps of time.

It’s a good way to get extra fruit in while feeling like you have had a treat.

If I don’t have ground almonds at home I just grind whole almonds in my food processor. By grinding the whole almond you are including all the nutrients in the skin of the almond, unlike shop bought ones.

Swap out the flour for rolled oats to make gluten-free.

Ingredients

3 apples
150g frozen blueberries
50g butter
½ cup ground almonds
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
6 tablespoons plain flour or 6 tablespoons of rolled oats
Slithered almonds to top

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan bake.
2. Peel and chop apples into small cubes and put in an ovenproof dish with blueberries and mix.
3. In a medium microwave-proof bowl soften butter (don’t stress if some of it melts). Add sugar and ground almonds and mash with a fork.
4. Add flour a tablespoon at a time, continuing with the mashing and mixing of the fork to get a crumbly mixture. You may need to add more or less flour to get the crumble mix just right.
5. Spread over the top of the fruit and top with slithered almonds.
6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You know it is ready when the fruit mixture is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
7. Serve warm, with or without ice-cream or cream.
