APPLE, PEAR & GINGER CRUMBLE
INGREDIENTS:
For the filling:
2 pears, chopped into bitesized chunks
5 apples, chopped into bitesized chunks
1 large thumb ginger, grated (feel free to add more if you can handle the spice)
2 tsp cinnamon or orange zest (optional)
1 large splash of water
For the crumble:
150g oats
45g ground flaxseed
45g ground almonds
75g melted coconut oil
45g maple syrup
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 180C
Wash and chop the fruits and place in a pan. Grate the ginger to the mix followed by the cinnamon/orange zest if using.
Add a splash of water to the pan and simmer over a medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little more water if needed.
Meanwhile, add all the crumble ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well.
When the apples and pears have broken down slightly, remove the lid and check the consistency. If the mixture is too liquidy, turn the heat up slightly and continue to cook with the lid off until some of the liquid has bubbled off.
Pour the fruit into a baking dish and add the crumble topping on top. Bake until golden brown, approximately 20 minutes.
Serve with creme fraiche, custard, cream, yoghurt or ice cream.
