Apple Brekky Crumble
Ingredients
5 Red Apples (625g), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 Green Pears (332g), peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 Fresh Lemon (50g), zest finely grated and juiced
4 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (80g)
1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (2g)
1 Cup Rolled Oats (90g)
1/4 Cup Desiccated Coconut (20g)
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (1g)
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil (50g)
2 Cups Low Fat Natural Yoghurt (500g), or 2 Tablespoons per serve
15g Pepitas
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C or 160C fan-forced. Thinly slice the apples and pears and place in a microwave safe container with lemon juice, zest and 1 tsp cinnamon. Microwave for approximately 3 mins to soften the fruit.
- Remove the fruit from the microwave and stir through 2 TBS maple syrup.
- Meanwhile, create the crumble top by combining the dry ingredients: coconut, oats, nutmeg, remaining cinnamon and pepitas in a small bowl.
- Melt the coconut oil in the microwave for 1 minute and stir through 2 TBS maple syrup. Drizzle this over the dry crumble mixture and stir through.
- Place softened fruit into a ceramic baking dish and then top with the crumble mixture.
- Bake 20 mins to create a golden crumble.
- Serve with 2 tbs of yoghurt.
Mish Tips
- You can do this on a stovetop instead of a microwave. We’ve used the microwave to speed up the process.
- Add a little water to the fruit when cooking if you like your fruit extra soft.
- To speed up the process further, you can leave the skin on the fruit.
