Recipe for a Clean Desert

Okay, we all know that sooner or later, we want something that will satisfy our sweet tooth.

If you like oatmeal and apples, pears or really any kind of berry, this crumble recipe is for you. It's awesome!

Olive oil cooking spray
1/3 c Sucanat Sugar (normally found in the organic section of your grocery store, I normally buy mine in the US as it is much cheaper)
2 T Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 t cinnamon
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin (I have used many different types of apples and even pears on occasion)
2 c Fresh Cranberries or any type of berry
1/2 c Old Fashioned Oats
1/4 c Maple Flakes (I normally just use Maple Syrup however if I do, I increase the amount of oatmeal used to 1 cup)
1/4 t Baking Powder
1/4 t Sea Salt
1 1/2 T Canola Oil
1 T 100% apple juice

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly coat an 8 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine sucanat, flour and cinnamon; add apple slices and berries, mix together and spread evenly in the prepared baking pan.

In a medium bowl, mix together oats, maple flakes, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine oil and apple juice; then add it to oat mixture, distributing evenly until mixture appears crumbly.

Sprinkle oat mixture over apples and berries and bake for 35 minutes until bubbly. Can be served either warm or chilled.

Enjoy!

That's it for me today, up way too early and going to go and get some sleep.

Have a great day tomorrow.

  1. Note that I amended the recipe a tiny bit just to say that if you use Maple Syrup instead of flakes, you either need to reduce the amount - try 1/8 cup or increase the oatmeal to 1 cup which is what I usually do.

    We had it tonight and it was great as usual. I actually used apples and a nectarine. Gave it a nice flavour!
