This recipe is from the Joyce D'silva book "Healthy eating for the new age". A simple recipe to make with a delicious crunchy top.
9oz (270g) self raising wholemeal flour ( start with 9oz and add a little more if it needs it until it is crumbling a bit and not one lump, if it stays as a lump after adding more flour just break it into pieces on top of the apples which works fine )
6oz (180g) vegan margarine, vegan block is best as it has less water in it so is better for this recipe and for pastry.
4 1/2oz (135g) soft brown sugar. I made this crumble this evening and added just 40 or 50g of sugar and it tasted fine so reduce the sugar as much as you can.
4 large cooking apples
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 or 3 cloves (if you like them otherwise leave out)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Peel, core and chop apples coarsely. Place in pan with brown sugar, spices and a little water.
Cook gently for about 5 minutes or until the apple just starts to soften and place in an oven proof dish.
Melt the margarine and stir in sugar and flour. Mix well until a crumbly texture forms, you may need to add a little more flour. Place on top of apples, spoon on or crumble with your fingers if you need to so that it covers the apples and bake 350F, 180C or mark 4 for about 40 minutes or until browning well. Serve with soya cream or vegan ice cream or both
Hey, just made this one again today.
ReplyDelete2 things -
1. you say "9oz flour and possibly a little more" but every time I make it I end up using A LOT more than 9oz e.g. maybe 50% more - can you test and be more accurate?
2. one thing that is a pain across all your recipes is you list measures in imperial. would be very helpful if you could go through all and add the correct gram weight in brackets next to all oz. would save me a lot of conversion time.
