STRAWBERRY AND APPLE CRUMBLE
 
 
Ingredients
  • FOR THE FILLING
  • 3 apples
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 punnets of strawberries (500g, 18 oz)
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch
  • pinch of salt
  • FOR THE CRUMBLE
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ¼ cup oats
  • 70g unsalted butter, cubed (2.5 oz)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C and get out a 22cm (9 inch) round ceramic dish (or similar).
  2. Peel, core and dice your apples into 2cm (1 inch) cubes. Place in a small pot with 2 tbsp sugar and cook, covered, over a very low heat, for 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally, and turn the apples off when they are just soft.
  3. Meanwhile, hull and halve the strawberries. Place them in a large bowl with 3 tbsp sugar, the tapioca flour and salt. Set aside.
  4. To make the crumble, grind the oats in a food processor or blender until fine. Combine the oats, flour, butter, sugar and salt either with your fingertips or using an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment set on low. Mix until it forms a crumble mixture.
  5. Mix the strawberry and apple mixtures together. Spread them into the baking dish and top evenly with the crumble mixture.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden. Serves 6-8.
