Berry & Apple Crumble

I was reminded today by one of my reader’s Gabi, what a yummy and versatile recipe this is. In the old days when I cooked with sugar and flour I used to loved whipping up a quick apple crumble as a treat with lots of brown sugar and oats served with a side of vanilla ice cream. This recipe is a much healthier version and just as delicious. I love eating the left over’s of this version of crumble for breakfast, it is fulling and healthy.

This is the kind of recipe that you can whip together even when you don’t have any ingredients in the house just by using what nuts and fruit you have already. Gabi made this recipe with summer apricots, which would be amazingly tasty, I am inspired to try that when the summer fruit ripens here in Australia. Other ideas are using pears and apples, peaches, feijoa or rhubarb in place of the berries and apple. I have just come back from a visit to California and the fresh berries there were amazing and abundant, I bet they would make a killer berry crumble. Be creative! I hope that you enjoy this recipe no matter what season you are in at the moment.
