A BIT LIKE A CRUMBLE

I was feeling like a bit of desert, you know that feeling? Sometimes a biscuit will do but I had more time and there is nothing like homemade.
 
We had all these apples from the garden and the bushes were full of raspberries.
 
I peeled and chopped up the apples, threw in the raspberries and made a crumble mixture. No recipe, just a thought and when it came out of the oven, it was perfect. Fresh fruit in season and from the garden, cannot be beat!
 
INGREDIENTS
For 4 people or more 

• 7 to 10 medium apples
• 10 to 20 raspberries
•  A few tbsps. of sugar ( 3 or 4 )
• ½ cup or so of flour
• ¼ cup of vegan butter or margarine ( softened )… even oil will do.
• A pinch of baking powder
• And a ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts

 
 METHOD 

1. Set the oven to 180C
2. Peel and chop up the apples into small cubes. Add one good tablespoon of sugar and mix the apples well to coat them.
3. Toss in the raspberries with the apples and fill the bottom of a baking dish.
4. To the flour add the 2 or 3 tbsp of sugar, the chopped nuts, the baking powder and the softened vegan butter. Mix together with your hands to create a crumbly texture.
5. Evenly sprinkle the mixture over the fruit and put into the oven for approx. 30 to 40 minutes.

The top should be lightly browned and the apples cooked. Use a knife and if they are soft, perfect.
 
Serve alone or with a dollop of dairy free cream or soya yogurt. And if you so wish, you can even dilute some Natural cream cheese from Hungry Soul with water or oat milk ( ½ and ½ ) and drizzle over the fruit… it will be very good!
