Something sweet
Pan Apple Crumble
Soft cinnamon apples under a crisp oat and nut topping — the crumble is toasted separately in the pan, so no oven is needed.
Ingredients
- 60 g (2 oz) rolled oats
- 2 tbsp mixed nuts and seeds, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil or 30 g (1 oz) butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- a pinch of salt
- 2 apples, cored and chopped
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp water
- natural yoghurt, to serve
Steps
- Put the oats, nuts and seeds, oil and a pinch of salt in the pan over medium heat. Toast for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until golden.
- Take the pan off the heat, stir in 1 tbsp of the honey and tip the crumble onto a plate to cool and crisp.
- Wipe the pan with kitchen paper. Add the apples, cinnamon, the rest of the honey and the water.
- Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the apples are soft.
- Scatter the crumble over the apples and serve warm, straight from the pan, with a spoonful of yoghurt.
Swaps & variations
- Pears, plums or a mix of apple and berries all work.
- Stir 1 tbsp peanut butter into the warm crumble for a nuttier topping.
- Toast a double batch of the crumble and keep it in a sealed container for up to a week.
