Who doesn’t love the old classic apple and rhubarb crumble?!

Well I sure as hell do, but of course I love eating nourishing wholefood desserts more… so I grabbed a classic and put a twist on it to make it a healthified alternative.

I used extra berries in the recipe to enhance the flavors and sweetness without the need to add any refined sugars! BOOM!!

This is one of the EASIEST Healthy Desserts – EVER- I can make it while dinner is cooking or throw it together after we’ve eaten, ready for dessert in half an hour! Bliss!!

I also used certified Gluten Free Oats, make sure, if you are Coeliac or gluten intolerant you check the oats are made in a gf factory of there own – and not contaminated. 

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! It has been on rotate on our house for the last couple of weeks and I dont see it stopping anytime soon 😛

PS Did you know you could also save this as a yummy breaky dish? It will keep you nice and full and hit all those yummy sweet spots in winter!

INGREDIENTS (CHOOSE ORGANIC WHERE POSSIBLE*)

• 3 Green Apples, Cored & Peeled
• 1 cup Organic Mixed Berries
• 1 Bunch Rhubarb, washed and cut into 3cm peices – roughly 8 -10 stems
• 2 tsp Cinnamon
• 2 tbsp GF Plain Flour

Crumble

• 1/3 cup Walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1/3 Silvered or flaked Almonds, roughly chopped

Method

Preheat oven to 180C.

Place apple,  cinnamon, lemon rind and 2 tablespoons of water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until apple starts to soften. Add rhubarb and flour. Cook, covered, for 3 minutes or until rhubarb just softens.

Remove from heat, spoon through berries.

Transfer to oiled or baking paper covered Baking Dish.

In a separate bowl combine crumble mixture.

Sprinkle over rhubarb mixture. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 minutes. 

Serve and eat immediately. It will keep for 5 days in an air tight container or freeze for another day – if you can keep your mits of it!!
