Rhubarb and Apple Crumble

It is often nice and stomach warming to end a cold winter’s night with a nice bowl of crumble. I like rhubarb; it cuts through the sweetness of desserts with its tartness. My husband loves apple pies and apple crumble, so a rhubarb and apple combination is a good compromise.

Ingredients

A bunch of rhubarb chopped into 2cm segments

2 apples peeled and cut into 2cm cubes

4 tbsp of Demerara sugar

A dash of lemon juice

1 cup of plain flour

40g butter chilled and cubed

1 cup of rolled oats

½ cup of desiccated coconut

½ cup of chopped nuts

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ cup of castor sugar

Method:

1.     Cook rhubarb and apple and sugar on the stove for about 10 minutes.

2.     Spoon into a baking dish or individual ramekins.

3.     Scrunch all the crumble ingredients together with your fingers.

4.     Sprinkle on the lightly stewed fruits.

5.     Bake in 180°C oven for 15mins or until the topping is golden brown.

6.     Serve with custard or ice cream.
