Apple crumble

Butter, sugar, flour – what’s not to love?!

Apple crumble can be a great step in a new direction for an apple lover. Or even tempting for a child not quite sold on apples.

There are some interim steps we can take if we have a food hesitant child:

– If cooked apples are going to be difficult, we can start by using uncooked ones and adding the topping.
– If soft apples are a challenge, then we can cook for less time, so they are still crunchy
– If mixing is currently a no-go, we can serve the apples and the crumble topping separately.

As always making a small portion is advisable.

I love a low-sugar version so have included options in the recipe.

Recipe

(For a mini-portion)

Topping
¼ cup flour (I used wholemeal)
1/8 cup oats (I use wholegrain and put in the spice grinder/coffee grinder to make into flour – perfect if you have a child not yet eating oats. For a chewier topping leave oats unground)
37 gm butter
1 dst spoon sugar (optional)

Filling
Half an apple cored and diced or sliced (which would your child prefer?)
I use apple juice rather than adding sugar for sweetness. Or use sugar, to taste.
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Method
To make topping – I place all the ingredients in the food processor and blitz until a crumb forms. If making by hand, mix dry ingredients then rub in butter
For the apples – wash, core and then slice or dice
If cooking together I place apples in an oven proof bowl and add apple juice or sugar.
Bake at 180˚ for approx. 30 minutes (until crumble is browning).
If cooking separately I spread the topping on a baking tray and cook at 180˚ stirring occasionally until browning
