TAMARILLO AND APPLE OATY CRUMBLE
One of the most basic ingredients that can be bought plastic-free, NZ-grown and easily available is rolled oats. Spices used here are often imported due to the fact they grow in hot climates, but for the small amount used I see them as flavour boosts for the homegrown fare.
Ingredients
- 1 cup NZ-grown rolled oats*
- ½ cup wholemeal flour or buckwheat flour
- ½ cup seeds sunflower or pumpkin
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 100 g butter cut into 1cm cubes
- 4 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 4 granny smith apples peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 tamarillos scooped
*Gluten-free - see notes below
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Place the oats, flour, seeds, spices and salt into a food processor and blend into a fine meal. Add the butter and honey or brown sugar, and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the apples in the base of a 20cm x 30cm baking dish and scoop over the tamarillo flesh. Spread the crumble mixture over the top and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and the apples are soft. Serve with custard or yoghurt.
Notes
To make this crumble gluten-free replace the oats with 1/2 cup desiccated coconut and 1/2 cup ground almonds or more seeds. Use buckwheat flour (which can be purchased NZ-grown) or gluten-free flour mix.
